Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s Year of the Pausers isn’t your usual zodiac cigar. It’s built in honor of Tom and Michelle Pauser, two longtime figures in the cigar world who are known for their presence in their community.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s Year of the Pausers isn’t your usual zodiac cigar. It’s built in honor of Tom and Michelle Pauser, two longtime figures in the cigar world who are known for their passion and presence in the community. Steve Saka used their preferences as a guide, creating two blends that capture their personalities rather than an animal or year. The box contains two distinct blends, one inspired by Michelle’s love for Sin Compromiso and the other by Tom’s preference for bolder Mi Querida styles. Steve Saka took their tastes as starting points and built cigar recipes around them, giving each a shout-out instead of a one-size-fits-all release. Like all Lunar New Year cigars, these will only stick around for a limited time. Make sure to get your hands on a box or try them both.

Tom: Very good cigar. Saka’s new Capa Camaleón wrapper (found on Word of Saka), which we will see more of in future. Toasted oak, burnt caramel, honey roasted macadamia nuts and peanuts, cream, black pepper, chocolate, vanilla, leather and some minerals. Very different DTT profile. Glad I tried

Both cigars were very good and very distinct. The construction was of the cigar was perfect, especially on the burn. Not one touch up needed! The HERS was a bit more earthy while the HIS had more pepper and cacao notes. If I had to pick one, I’d go with the HIS all day

Robust Saka tradition. Exactly what you want from Dunbarton.

Love the concept! The Michelle blend is better.
