Steve Saka made his name at Drew Estate, retired in 2013, and came back in 2015 with Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. Mi Querida — 'my darling' — was the second release and remains the favourite.
Medium to full, with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper giving dark sweetness over a complex Nicaraguan core. Big flavour, carefully balanced. An unusually wide size range, from a four-inch Gordita upwards.
