Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra de Saka Unstolen Valor

Initial Thoughts

The Muestra de Saka Unstolen Valor is a oddity among Dunbarton’s cigars in the fact that it’s one of the few not blended by Steve Saka. Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed was the fragrant aroma coming off this cigar. The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra de Saka Unstolen Valor is a cigar that costs over $20, is medium-brown in color, and smells great.

Once lit, the Unstolen Valor had some disappointing hollow spots that severely impacted the draw and the amount of smoke I was able to get. The flavors were incredibly strong; it was almost too much for me. The Connecticut Broadleaf in the filler was one of the more predominant flavors.

Will the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Muestra de Saka Unstolen Valor be worthy of $22 and its limited edition status? Let’s find out.
