To say that Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobbaco & Trust is particular would be an understatement. He likes what we likes, he says what he likes, and he does what he likes. His motto for his brands (and he even named a line for this) is Sin Compromiso or without compromise. When he had purchased a crop of Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper for his Mi Querida line, there were some leaves that he deemed too ugly to use on this premium offering. This was tobacco of superior quality and tasted, but didn’t possess the uniformity that he required. As an avid fisherman, Saka decided to use this tasty tobacco to create the ultimate fishing cigar as Connecticut Boradleaf is very durable and holds up to the elements well. To compete the fishing theme, he named the cigar Umbagog after his favorite lake in New Hampshire.
Being the line that is named for his ethos of cigar making, only the best raw materials are used to craft Saka’s masterpiece. Beginning with a blend of exceptional Nicaraguan and Ecuadorian filler and binder leaves, what sets Sin Compromiso apart is its unique San Andreas Maduro wrapper. Saka believes this the finest and tastiest San Andreas Maduro wrapper leaf around. Once these tobaccos have been properly fermented and aged, the finest torcedors (cigar rollers) in the factory skillfully make the Sin Compromiso. The result is complex, smooth, and strong. Tasting notes feature layers of espresso, cocoa, toasted breads, and savory spices with hints of pepper, cedar, and sweet cream. Saka often boasts this is the finest cigar he’s ever blended, and he may be right.
