Bought both the blue label and the red label. Maybe it’s just me, but I found the red label a little bit spicier. Could it be because its label is red? I don’t know but honestly, they are both amazing. I can definitely continue buying this cigar and the price is definitely reasonable.

Saka nailed it with this blend! Super bold and smacks you in the face with tons of spice, leather and pepper. This is the cigar I’d reach for to finish the night after having a nice steak dinner.

Very good cigar but definitely more pepper kick on this one than the Mi Querida blue. If I had a choice between the two I’d grab a blue every time. I just find it to have more sweetness and that’s more in line with my palette.

Another winner from DTT. This has all the full flavors that you’d expect. I’m getting a mineral note with dark chocolate and leather. There is an inherent spicy earth flavor that comes on the back end. To say this was absolutely delicious would be an understatement. For me this is 100% box worthy. I will always keep these in my humidor rotation.

Beautiful rustic wrapper with a gritty feel.
This little smoke packs some serious flavor. Starts off with a bittersweet chocolate and learher. I quickly picked up subtle sweet berry on the finish. Retro had a healthy amount of black pepper. Got nearly an hour out of this cigar and it only required a few touch ups. These cigars age well and offer an enjoyable experience in multiple sizes.

I definitely lean more towards the mild to Medium cigars and the blue label is the upper limit of what I would gravitate towards and enjoy. This Triqui Traca just crosses the line a bit to where it’s a bit too full for my palate
It definitely has the same core as the blue, but I get a punchier red and black pepper and a little less sweetness

The cigar is an incredibly enjoyable cigar. The flavor is rich, complex and balanced that brings body with balance, positioned in such a way that it doesn’t come off as strong. The flavor notes of mineral, black pepper, salty-sweet and vanilla. A must-have cigar.

Another amazing cigar from Saka. It has more pop and a little more sweetness than the original Mi Querida. The spice is amplified too. Always stoked to light one of these up.

I have loved everything Steve Saka has put out; I mean EVERYTHING. The Mi Querida Triqui Traca is at the top of the list. This has a nice peppercorn medley but not overpowering in spice, its complimentary. Vanilla, and bread notes bring in an animal cracker flavor. Charred oak, cherry, musty earth, leather, dark cocoa powder, chili powder. Very complex stick and very enjoyable.
