Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Sin Compromiso Seleccion No. 5 Parejo

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Sobremesa Elegante en Cedro
“All around a great cigar. The flavor profile could have had a bit more of an evolution, but the core flavors were quite enjoyable though out and the retrohale provided a nice change from the standard draw. The creaminess of the smoke could have been a little more consistent as parts of the cigar produced thick creamy clouds but a lot of the time it was a little but thin. Overall a very good cigar that I would definitely smoke again. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Todos Las Dias Double Wide Belicoso
“I liked the overall mix of flavors although I really could have used more sweetness hanging around in the second and last thirds. This is a predominantly leather an mineral taste cigar with the beginning offering a nice splash of pepper and spice and the cocoa and chocolate notes bouncing in and out. I think the vitola is perfect and if it was any longer I would have had enough. Tasty and interesting to say the least.” -Diana (ArmyRN)

Quick Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Muestra de Saka Unicorn
While the Diademas size was amazing I always find them a struggle with construction, burn, etc. This cigar from a construction point of view was on point. The burn was great, and the cigar smoked perfectly. Would I spend $100 on this cigar if it was regular production? Of course not. Definitely a treat to smoke and I was happy to get the chance. I give this a score of 93.

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Todos Las Dias Half Churchill
“This cigar was great in my opinion. A well-built cigar that was very easy to work with. Simple cut, light, and smoke made this cigar very nice. The flavor profile was delicious. There was not a lot of complexity, but the overall smoke and aroma was absolutely pleasant. If I could make one suggestion, I would say to pre-cut the cigar and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This will allow an ample amount of rest time and will get the remainder of the harshness out of it, so that it will burn and taste great all the way through. Enjoy these, they are worth the buy.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

IPCPR 2017 – Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust – Blind Man’s Puff
This year the only *new* line Steve Saka was showing off was the Todos Las Dias.
“Todos Las Dias is my personal Spanglish translation meaning “All the Days.” The workers at Joya de Nicaraguan often cringe at my casual butchering of their mother tongue, but in my opinion cigars are far more than a grammar lesson to abide, they are the physical manifestation of a feeling and of an experience. TLD embodies the classic bold flavors that represent the heart of their soil’s peppery tobaccos and the labor of their always working hands. For me, this spicy Nicaraguan puro reflects no pretentious airs or any of that “notes of pencil lead with a hint of fennel” nonsense. It is an honest, hardworking cigar intended to be smoked by men who know what it means to be a cigar smoker and never give a damn about what others think,” states the creator, Steve Saka.

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Muestra de Saka Exclusivo
“I trend towards cigars that are full of flavors and pack a punch in strength. This cigar was right up my alley. Impressive slow burn that produced plentiful smoke with tons of flavors. I would recommend this one to the experienced smoker that enjoys a toasty, sweet flavorful session. I will definitely be adding a few of these to the humidor after the blend is revealed. Great job and bravo to the blend master and roller.” -Adam B. (Bushboy)
