COVID-19 Day 859
It was nice to reunite with this Mi Querida Triqui Traca 552 (Robusto) by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust today.
Earthy coffee, leather, and dark cocoa powder come my way with a mild pepper spice on the retrohale.
I’m perplexed, everything I’ve read or from those whom I’ve spoken with touts this as being a full-on big full of body and strength cigar… every time I smoke this I keep looking for it, but it somehow seems to escape me… this is a great cigar, don’t get me wrong here, but what I get is a refined cigar with excellent construction that provides a razor sharp burn that creates an inch long ash that hasn’t fallen off yet.
Yep, I dig this cigar; always have, I just get a different experience with this than most folks or what they purport to experience.
Coming into the last third, the purported tobacco flavors come alive offering their deep rich flavors from this sipping slow as-she-goes cigar… it’s a perfect cigar to relax with
Until next time…

COVID-19 Day 573
Through a slightly snug but manageable draw, deep rich tobacco flavors of earthy broadleaf sweetness, cedar, chocolate, and black pepper tobacco flavors come to me with a black pepper flavor on the retrohale to match… almost a Worcestershire sauce type experience!
The remarkable tobacco flavors, rich complexity, and transitions of this Mi Querida Triqui Traca 552 (Robusto) by Steve Saka’s Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigar Company provide plenty for those who know… know that this is a Special Cigar!
I’m at the end of this Mi Querida Triqui Traca 552 and I’m transfixed… I can’t wait to spark this again… hopefully soon!

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 225: 2.5-Mile Cigar
It’s another Cold Morning and that means I need the most Flavorful and Delicious Cigar to stand up to this morning’s cold Cigar-Walk with this Finger-Burner in the Mi Querida Triqui Traca 552 (Robusto) by Steve Saka and his Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigar Company.
Right from the start, Barnyard and Leather aromas come from the wrapper got me excited to get my trek going… the Mi Querida Triqui Traca 552 or as someone pointed out to me… for my morning “Triqui Treking”

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 98: 2.5-Mile Cigar
First time with this Vitola and it’s a winner… as with most of Steve Saka’s Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust cigars… I don’t think there’s one of Saka’s cigars that I don’t like and this Triqui Traca 552 (Robusto) is no different and might even be ranking up there above some of the others that I’ve been coveting…
These cigars aren’t inexpensive, but I can assure you that you get what you pay for… I can’t wait to “Blaze” this again… I hope soon!
