If you purchase this product you will earn Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust proudly presents Polpetta, a revolutionary concept in premium handmade cigars that has quickly become a favorite among aficionados since joining their regular production portfolio. This unique creation from master blender Steve Saka represents an ingenious approach to cigar making that delivers exceptional quality at an accessible price point.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Polpetta is a masterpiece born from the chaveta cuts of esteemed Broadleaf ligas. Unlike traditional practices where factories discard table trimmings, Dunbarton embraces these premium cuts, selecting only the finest from their top lines including Mi Querida, Mi Querida Triqui Traca, Umbagog, and Red Meat Lovers. These quality cuts are skillfully blended with two long-leaf tripas, resulting in a consistent and remarkable filler recipe exclusive to Polpetta.
Superior Ingredients
Each Polpetta cigar features a top-grade Mexican San Andrés Negro binder, enhancing its structural integrity and flavor profile. The crowning glory is the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, meticulously selected for its rich character and appearance. This innovative “sandwich-style” approach elevates the mixed filler concept to new heights, creating a smoking experience that is both unique and luxurious.
Perfect Dimensions
Measuring 4 x 48, this petit robusto format delivers a surprisingly long-lasting smoke experience of 45-50 minutes despite its compact size. The Polpetta (Italian for “meatball”) is expertly handcrafted at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory, ensuring consistent quality with every cigar.
Rich and Complex Flavor Profile
Each draw of Polpetta unveils a complex and rich flavor profile that evolves throughout the smoking experience. Expect notes of dark chocolate, black coffee, leather, and earth, complemented by hints of pepper, sweet tobacco, and occasional floral accents. The full-bodied profile builds gradually, offering a sophisticated smoking journey that rivals many premium long-filler cigars.
Exceptional Performance
Polpetta defies expectations with its exceptional construction and performance. Enjoy a cool, even burn, flawless draw, and impressive ash retention that holds firm through the second third. Despite its mixed filler composition, Polpetta smokes like a premium long-filler cigar with perfect balance and consistent flavor delivery.
Affordability Meets Luxury
With an MSRP of $7.30 per cigar and 25-count boxes priced at $182.50, Polpetta represents Dunbarton’s most budget-friendly release to date without compromising on quality. This cigar stands as the ideal choice for aficionados seeking a luxurious smoking experience at an accessible price point, perfect for daily enjoyment or as a shorter option when time is limited.
Polpetta has quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest mixed filler cigars on the market, with enthusiasts praising its remarkable quality, flavor complexity, and outstanding value. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or new to premium cigars, Polpetta delivers an exceptional experience that showcases Steve Saka’s mastery of tobacco blending and innovation.

Dunbarton does it again. I think Dunbarton probably has some of the best cigars in my humidor. These little guys are great if you are trying to get a quick smoke it.

Really enjoyed this little stick from DTT! Had leather, spiced earth and faint pepper. This gave me a solid 45-50 min on it. Construction was great and flavors definitely popped for me. Not a ton of transitions as this is a short smoke but super glad I was able to grab a few. I’m curious to see how well they will age. As always the best prices at Oxford!

These little guys hit the spot. We have waiting half a year for them to finally land and it’s been years since I’ve had one.
There isn’t a lot of room for transition but flavors consist of leather, spice, and dark chocolate notes. They deliver that broadleaf package over 45 minutes. I find these short filler sticks burn well and are less prone to tight rolls. Glad these have become regular production and I’m sure they will age well.

This is one of those rare cigars that you take a chance on and are pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it is! I love this cigar so much as a daily smoke that I bought two boxes of them lately. I can’t seem to get enough. It’s chocolatey, leathery notes. Highly recommended and will honestly say it is a cigar you will not regret smoking.

Short but boy does it pack a punch with flavor! I wouldn’t even call this a quick smoke because the flavor and profile are so profound. I wish I had bought a box instead, but the 5ver will do for now.

I am told that the people that created this cigar did so in order to use the leftover leaves from their finer cigars. Well, I can tell you that for the price this is one of the best cigars you will find on the market. Yes the burn the construction the flavor are all worthy of a 90+ rating, but what I find to be the most important is that this cigar is enjoyable over a short amount of time because it is a relatively small cigar. I would recommend this to a new smoker or an experienced smoker

What an excellent short smoke. Regardless of having no transition or complexity; it has a beautiful leather, dark chocolate and coffee profile. The strength starts low and amps up to full after a few puffs and stayed there. Towards the end there was a subtle note of black peppercorn. I have got to say the Polpetta comes with excellent flavor package considering the price tag. Box worthy.

A dense, tightly packed little stick that burned beautifully and produced good smoke. The profile was leather and earth with some pepper and a bit of black coffee on the follow. A real gem and quite a bargain at the price.

This is an absolute chocolate bomb! 45 minutes of broadleaf goodness. Construction was flawless. Draw was great, burn line was razor sharp and the ash held on through the second third. Mixed filler or not, this is a box buy all day. DTT homerun per usual.

This is the perfect second smoke for me when I finish my first but can’t commit to another robusto or toro. I lean more towards mild-medium smokes and am not a fan of pepper bombs. Very well balanced but not TOO bold or peppery. Even though this is a cuban sandwich, you can absolutely tell the tobacco is of a higher quality vs most other mixed filler cigars. I’ll likely keep at least a few of these in my humidor for specific occasions

I love these things. It’s not as quick of a cigar as it logically should be, not sure how they are making it burn so long but I easily get a half hour of broadleaf goodness out of these, and I could probably get 40 minutes if I was trying. The flavor is medium, somewhere between Mi Querida Blue and Sobremesa, really nice. My favorite short filled cigar, and it’s not close.
