The Thick Lonsdale will be shown off at the IPCPR trade show in Last Vegas on July 13th, 2018. The Todos Las Dias is Dunbarton’s strongest cigar lineup to date, and this new vitola will be an even stronger version. The cigar itself measure 6″ x 46 finished with a pig tail head and coming in 10 count boxes. Price is set at $11.95 per cigar or $119.95 for the box.
Steve Saka, the founder and master blender of DTT, said, “The Thick Lonsdale “Mas Fuerte” is the result of some confusion between myself and the factory. When originally blending the TLD liga there were two finished core blends comprised of the same tobaccos, but with different proportions. Ultimately, I selected the one I felt worked best in the original formats to be released and relegated the other to my blending diary. When it came time to add the Thick Lonsdale to the line, I inadvertently gave them the recipe for the stronger iteration. In their defense, the factory asked me to verify the blend twice, but I managed to still muck it up and authorized them to produce 200 boxes as instructed. I didn’t actually realize my mistake until I was smoking the post production cigars for quality control purposes. Right away I knew something was askew. My initial reaction was to destroy the cigars, but as I continued to smoked them I came to realize that this variation of the liga was perfect for this unique 6×46 format. So in the end, I decided my mistake was a blessing and have opted to add this tweaked vitola to the lineup for our connoisseur customers to enjoy.”
The cigars will ship August 2017 to those Select Purveyoys that order at the show.
