Dunbarton T&T to Release Muestra de Saka Nacatamale - Cigar News

THIS JUST IN!
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust hath announced itself to be currently accepting pre-orders for the second offering in their oh, so very limited in production Muestra de Saka cigar series. The deadline for said pre-orders is July 14th, 2017.

“Muestra is the humble, common word for “sample” in Spanish, however it takes on much more important, sometimes reverential, meaning when used in a handmade cigar factory. A muestra is the vision of the ligador and torcedor realized, it is the promise of a new experience and possibly the key to financial success for the fabrica. Muestras are hoarded and coveted by not only their makers, but by the cigar smokers who seek to catch a glimpse into the cigarmaker’s soul within their smoke” states Dunbarton Founder and Master Ligador, Steve Saka.

Sir doth do go on: “Muestra de Saka is just that. A line of unique blends and vitolas made in extremely limited quantities that reflect the blending machinations of myself. To smoke a Muestra de Saka is to embark upon a journey with me in which I greatly welcome your companionship.”

And on: “The Nacatamale is the second frontmark in the line. What made this cigar a unique blending challenge was I went "viejo granja" style with it. For over a century most cigars’ entire filler recipes were comprised of just one farm's tobacco and any complexity was introduced by extremely careful leaf processing, selection and positioning within the bunch. Whereas these days as we have hundreds of ingredients to work and blend with to create interesting and satisfying ligas."

And on: "So, the challenge was to see if I could make an “old farm" style liga that could hold its own with the modern blends created today. This cigar is considerably more robust than the Exclusivo and since this puro's tripa are all from just one small, independent farm in Jalapa, Nicaragua, I will not be disclosing the name of the vega. However, I will say it is simply sublime.”

Ship-date ETA to select retailers is late October 2017.
