Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta

Blind Man's Puff · Oct 25, 2023 · February 2020

Back in 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust came out with their first event only cigar called “ Polpetta.” Earlier this year (2023), the Polpetta was turned into a regular production cigar, and the company’s event-only cigar was replace with the PataPerro. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. Polpetta is a Rothschild vitola that measures 4 x 48 in parejo shape. The blend was created using long leaf table trimmings from three of their other regular production blends, Mi Querida, Mi Querida Triqui Traca and Umbagog. Polpetta translates to “meatball” in Italian. Like those other mentioned cigars, Polpetta is rolled at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory in Nicaragua. The regular production version has an MSRP of $7.30 each, with 25-count boxes priced at $182.50. It should be noted that the version reviewed here was the event-only version that came in packs of 5.

A wolf in sheep's clothing. The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta, a fairly unassuming 4x48, but once you get to smoking it, the heavy handed strength, chewy and viscous body lets you quickly know it means business. But it's not just full body and strength without good flavors. I think it's worth going to the events to seek out a few of these.
