Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Announces #GFY Lancero Collection for Fall

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has announced a new sampler, but for now, most of the cigars inside are not being named.

The #GFY Lancero Collection is a sampler box containing 10 different 7 x 38 lancero violas—nine of which have never been released—utilizing six different wrappers. While the details of eight cigars are being kept under wraps until a later date, Dunbarton has confirmed that one of the lanceros is the Muestra de Saka #NLMTHA lancero that debuted in 2019 while another is covered in a candela leaf, marking the first time that the company has released a cigar with that wrapper choice.

In an email, Steve Saka, founder of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, told halfwheel that while the sampler is being “made to order” and will have an MSRP of $159.50, there will only be a maximum of 3,000 boxes produced.

“And one of the things I have learned over the years is that these customers are always chasing the next great lancero,” reads the inside of the collection box. “So why not give them their ‘wet dream’, a selection of 10 totally unique lancero ligas in just one box? I crafted over 63 different blends while perfecting the Muestra de Saka #NLMTHA, so I chose 9 of the best and 1 awful Candela one, another relentless cigar geek ask.”

According to Saka, all of the cigars are being made at the Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. factory. The collection boxes will be sold during next week’s 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas and are scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in either September or October.
