I did some searching around locally last week for Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust’s latest release, the Muestra de Saka Unstolen Valor. The closest practically local source was only selling by the box, and as much as I’d treasure having seven of those in the humidor, and as much as I trust Saka’s palate to line up with my own and not get stuck with cigars I don’t like, It’s hard to drop over $100 on seven cigars right now. I just can’t do it. Heck, I’m a cheap bastard (and Saka is well aware of this), it was hard enough for me to shell out the 18 bones each for two of these.… Continue reading

Random Cigars and a Dunbarton Event at BnB Cigars in Philly
Yesterday I finally had the opportunity to smoke the Mi Querida Triqui Traca, and I did so at BnB Cigars in Chestnut Hill, PA. They were having an event there with Steve Saka and Dave Lafferty (Cindy Saka was there too) of Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust, with a bunch of test blends that Steve had accumulated over the years as add-ons
to purchases. I smoked one which was obviously a Mi Querida Gordita with some variation of the wrapper, although who could tell? It was delicious. Of course, I always learn stuff hanging with these guys, and the store is a cornucopia of boutique cigars. I highly recommend a visit there, if not in person, check them out for your online shopping, as Vince has curated an amazing selection of cigars.… Continue reading
An Afternoon at Famous Smoke Shop and Their Dunbarton 80th Anniversary Cigar
I’ve been beset with a head cold all week, adding insult to injury, of course. I did have a productive phone interview with a recruiter which could lead to something hopefully, so it wasn’t a wasted week. Having a cold like this messes with the taste buds, so after a few days of not even considering having a cigar, I broke the ice with something familiar to see where I stood. I grabbed a Nica Rustica El Brujito, which is a favorite. I know this cigar very well, so if my palate is skewed, I’ll know it smoking this cigar, and it was. It was still good, but tasted different. So I knew not to try anything new for a while, or at least to temper any expectations based on this information. This is important for you to know moving forward. … Continue reading
A Sin Compromiso Cigar with a Broadleaf Wrapper
I had a great three paragraph post written about this and some other cigars and it disappeared into the Wordpress ether someplace, so I’m trying to quickly re-write a piece of it before heading off to work. The rest will have to wait! Monday I smoked a Sin Compromiso with a Broadleaf wrapper that I got at the Famous Smokeshop event I attended a few months back. I decided on this
cigar on Monday for a few reasons. First, 2 Guys Cigars released the second (and probably last) round of the Mi Querida Firecrackers for sale. These are great little cigars. The second reason was to celebrate Saka’s birthday, because he doesn’t celebrate it himself. He’s told me that he thinks celebrating birthdays is for ten year old girls, which explains the pink wrapping paper with the stuffed My Little Kitty on the present he gave me for my 50th birthday years ago. For the record, I have two years on him.… Continue reading
