Cigar reviews
Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Unicorn Brulee Blue
Oct
There are cigars that are rare and then there are unicorns. The ladder are those ones you might glimpse once and never see again. While the term has been used on several different limited cigars, only Steve Saka produces one with the actual name. Originally a part of the Muestra de Saka line, the Dunbarton Unicon cigar has gotten a face lift as well as a new composition. Earlier this year Steve announced the coming of the Brulee Blue Unicorn and the Mi Querida Black Unicorn. This is a departure from the Muestra line and instead takes one of Steve’s most loved and sought after blends and turns it up. Here is what he has to say about his newest blend on the Dunbarton Unicorn Brulee Blue:
“Swaddled in a glorious, extra choice blonde shade capa, (He calls it an A++ Wrapper in terms of grading) this diademas is a creamy liga with softer flavors of cedar, caramel, and café, which are complimented by its inherent sweetness being allowed to blossom on the palate and nose – a nuttiness is also apparent within this blend. Due to its unique vitola shape, this puro is a touch stronger on the palate than any of our other Sobremesa Brûlee Blue offerings. The quintessential “Baby Huey” meets “Scrooge McDuck” cream bomb of a perfecto.”
Released in a beautiful ten count, piano finish box, and placed lovingly into separate coffins, the presentation is on point. The size of is a 6.25×60 figurado. Wrapped in a Ecuador Connecticut Shade – Grade A++ wrapper, over a Cultivo Tonto San Andreas Negro binder, and Extra Select Nicaraguan Tobaccos in the filler, the unicorn is not only a super rare cigar but an elevated selection of premium tobacco. If you see it available it might be the last time. The only way for a retail shop to offer it in the first place was to attend the 2023 PCA trade show and put in a certain order to become eligible. I am happy to say, Oak Glen Tobacconist was able to and we have a just a few more left. Order the new Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Unicorn Brulee Blue and experience what a Unicorn tastes like.
