Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Stillwell Star Navy No. 1056
The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Stillwell Star Navy No. 1056 started well with a nice combination of flavors and that peated whisky as a nice supporting note. The profile dropped to average in the second third as the baking spice fell back and maintained that level the rest of the way. This is probably my favorite of the four releases thus far in the line. I could have gone for a fuller peated whisky note in the profile.
Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Mi Querida Triqui Traca No. 448
The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Mi Querida Triqui Traca No. 448 started well with rich flavors. The second third lost some complexity and added a cardboard note which dropped the profile down a level, but the final third picked back up in enjoyment. Definitely a cigar I'd be up for smoking more of.
Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sin Compromiso Selección Paladin de Saka
Having smoked (I think) three iterations of Sin Compromiso, one main theme is clearly evident. The mouthfeel of tannins is superb. The flavors are overall on point too, providing a finer earthiness of cocoa, cedar, minerals and dry red pepper spice. The price point of the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sin Compromiso Selección Paladin de Saka is tough to swallow though.
Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Stillwell Star Aromatic No. 1
The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Stillwell Star Aromatic No. 1 provided an interesting bridge between cigar and pipe tobacco in the first third that I was hoping would continue. The second and last thirds didn't seem to find the same balance for me and instead provided a pleasant flavor that wasn't as complex. I don't know whether a smaller ring gauge or larger ring gauge is the answer, but I'd be interested in trying a new size that could deliver more of that first third.
Cigar News: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Stillwell Star Begins Shipping Nationwide
The initial release includes four unique expressions, each representing a particular pipe tobacco genre custom blended by the famed head blender, Jeremy Reeves, of the legendary American pipe tobacco maker Cornell & Diehl® (C&D). Our master ligador, Steve Saka, then crafted four different independent cigar blends to best showcase each of these pipe tobacco styles to cigar smokers.
Personal Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra De Saka #NLMTHA
The price point on the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra De Saka #NLMTHA is quite high, and would likely keep me from returning to this all that often. This version of the MdS is about on par with the others I have smoked. Lancero fans should give this a shot to see what they think.
Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Red Meat Lovers 2020
I was pleased with this Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Red Meat Lovers 2020 and thought it showed depth and transitioning. This was a complex blend that showcased and benefitted from the tobaccos being used, wrapper to filler. This might be one my favorite Saka blends to come out of NACSA.
Cigar News: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust DTT-EX-38 Announced as Event Exclusive for The Great Smoke 2021
DTT-EX-38 is a sample liga Steve Saka has been working on since 2016. It incorporates a seldom grown leaf of Costa Rican Morron, which is a derivative of a Negro leaf seed strain grown primarily as wrapper. His goal behind the blend was to incorporate the smaller corona leaves as a unique ligero into the tripa recipe due to its chocolate and softer pepper notes.
Team Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brûlée Blue
The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brûlée Blue is a good cigar that has amazing construction and great flavors. The cigar is complex and balanced and it keeps that solid medium body and strength profile from beginning to end. It is much better than the original Brûlée release and the vitola offering is better as well.
