Polpetta means meatball, and at four inches by forty-eight that is roughly what it looks like. It started as an event-only cigar that Steve Saka eventually gave in and produced properly, because people would not stop asking.
Short, wide and dense, with far more going on than a cigar this size has any right to. Rich, sweet and earthy from the first draw — there is no warm-up period, which is the point of the format.
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler

Forty minutes, no compromise. One of the best short cigars made.
