This morning on social media Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust announced a new limited-edition cigar, the “Year of the Duque,” a release inspired by Sakaโ€™s close friend and cigar community supporter, Chris Duque. This cigar marks the first in an annual series honoring those who have contributed significantly to Dunbarton’s journey.

The โ€œYear of the Duqueโ€ is crafted in a 5 x 48 parejo format and is designed with Duqueโ€™s personal taste in mind, offering a robust profile intended to age well. โ€œThis project is a tribute to those who have supported usโ€”our patrons, friends, and especially Chris, who tirelessly shares our story,โ€ Saka explained.

Saka confirmed that production will be extremely limited, and Dunbartonโ€™s retailers will soon receive pre-order information. Each year, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust intends to recognize a different individual with a unique cigar in this series.
