*Check out the bottom of this review for a chance to win cigars from Dunbarton* Steve Saka announced the Muestra de Saka Unicorn in December 2017 on facebook, noting that he didn’t know if he would even sell it. Just about a month later, they made their way on sale in very small quantities. Saka tells about the process creating the cigar on Facebook, “It is a very very very small project I undertook after having experienced smoking some of those $250 – $2,000 cigars that have been proliferated into the marketplace in recent years. Some by legit makers, others by not so legit imo.” said Saka. The vitola for the Unicorn is the 6.25 x 60 Diadema that Steve Saka made in a custom mold based on a prototype that was turned on a lathe by Saka himself. “Lucky I still have all my fingers.” said Saka. Part of what makes this cigar so expensive is the tobacco selection process. He sorted through over 6,000 pounds of leaf they chose only the absolute best to go into the Unicorn. Only about 1% of the tobacco was good enough for this cigar. The only components about the blend that are disclosed are the Broadleaf wrapper and Nicaraguan filler. These cigars were rolled as the other in the Muestra de Saka line at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. The Unicorn went on sale mid January, 2018 only to select retailers of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust products and most of them were not sold outright, but reserved for special contests and customers. Only 1000 cigars were produced and cost $100 per cigar. As Steve Saka mentioned on Facebook “I don’t wanna be in the crazy $100 cigar business, it really was just a cool pet project that got a little out of control.”

Star anise | Nutshells/wood | Semi-sweet chocolate Let's start with the umami-drenched dark fertilized soil earthiness that envelopes the profile. All cushy and chewy and like whoa. It acts a bit like a boa constrictor applying a caring hug. Thankfully a structure is in place, and in place via the most engaging part of this entire parcel... a calmly complex slowly evolving look-see at nuts and woods. Shells and trees, too not just flesh and lumber. Hickory, charred booze barrel, black walnut, to
