I am a big fan of Liga Privada, but could never find it on sale since it has become the go to cigar for many people. However, I heard from a neighbor that this brand is equal, if not better and for the price more reasonable. I thank him every day for introducing me tothis cigar.

Been awhile since I’ve had this. Really enjoyed it. Love the strength behind it. Getting Expresso, leather and super dark chocolate notes. Really love the vitola here. Smoking absolutely beautifully. The construction is rock solid. Perfect draw. Really solid blend.

Between the red banded Triqui Traca and this original blue, I much prefer this blend. To me, it’s a lot more balanced and has the great broadleaf notes I look for: Cocoa, Coffee and some sweetness.
The Triqui Traca is also a good smoke, but a bit too punchy for my palate.
Dunbarton smokes have always had fantastic construction in my experience

Solid cigar that never disappoints. Very balanced flavor profile with some sweetness, dark chocolate and spice. I personally prefer the Sin Compromiso but at roughly $8/stick (half the price) the Mi Querida always hits.

If you are thinking about purchasing, go ahead a purchase. Always in my rotation. Construction is always top notch. One of my favorites in the Dunbarton Line.

Not my cup of tea. Strength is a bit high for my liking.

Another great blend from Saka! Earthy, sweet, dark chocolate, with a bit of spice. If you want a bit more punch in the face, try the Mi Querida Triqui Traca.
