Flavor Profile
The Double Corona showcases the depth and complexity of The Tabernacle blend in a larger format that allows the flavors to develop gradually. Rich notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather, cedar, black pepper, and earth dominate the profile, while subtle hints of molasses, baking spices, and dried fruit emerge as the cigar progresses. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper contributes a natural sweetness that balances the blend’s robust character.
Construction & Burn
The 7 by 54 Double Corona offers a long, cool smoking experience with excellent combustion and smoke production. The extended format allows the Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers to shine while maintaining the signature Broadleaf richness. Expect a firm ash, smooth draw, and an even burn throughout the smoking session.
Overall Experience
The Double Corona is often regarded as one of the most rewarding vitolas in The Tabernacle lineup. The larger size allows smokers to experience the full evolution of the blend, transitioning from rich cocoa and coffee notes to deeper layers of earth, spice, and sweetness. It is a cigar designed for those who appreciate a long, contemplative smoking experience.
Burnt Leaf Insight
Nick Melillo created The Tabernacle as a tribute to some of the great Broadleaf cigars that inspired his journey in tobacco. The Double Corona may be the most complete expression of that vision. The larger format highlights the intricate balance between the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, the San Andrés binder, and the aged fillers, creating a cigar that is both powerful and elegant. For Broadleaf enthusiasts, this vitola deserves a place among the finest full-bodied cigars available today.
