The Dunbarton Sin Compromiso is by far my favorite Mexican San Andres wrapped cigar. Incredible construction, and amazing medium-full bodied chocolate earthy forward flavors. Absolute must try.

This cigar is a certifiable hit from Dunbarton. A chocolate bomb. I get notes of woodiness, coffee and leather. Great draw and only requires a touch up or two if you’re very particular about burn lines like me. Love this cigar!!

I think this is one of the best that Dunbarton has to offer. It’s why I originally fell in love with them. Amazing chocolate flavor for days.

These are so good it isn’t even funny. I love the dark rich flavors that this gives off. I’m getting dark chocolate, coffee, leather and some oak. This stick is an absolute flavor bomb . Not a huge surprise when Oxford gets these in they are gone so quickly. If you have the chance to try… don’t delay as these are worth every penny!

If you’re looking for a smooth medium strength cigar with some spicy chocolate notes this is for you. Nice and dark with great output. Never had to touch up, but my cap did come undone. I feel like it was more my fault than the cigar so I can’t fault it. Another win by Steve Saka.

Sin Compromiso Seleccion Varita Magica, The cold draw was a bit snug then your usual Saka cigar. Another great cigar from Saka. If you enjoy the vitola, this is a must smoke cigar for the Saka fan base. This is a wonderful, smooth, chocolaty cigar, . I highly recommend this cigar. This is not a full strength cigar but has great flavor.
