Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Replacing Event-Only Polpetta with PataPerro
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has announced that it will have a new event-only cigar debuting this summer, as the company will be replacing Polpetta with PataPerro.
Like Polpetta, the new PataPerro will be a 4 x 48 parejo and is expected to be available in August 2023. The company has not released any details about the blend or its pricing but said they will be presented in 25-count boxes.
PataPerro will replace Polpetta, which was announced in December 2019 and which used cuts from three of the company’s other cigar lines. The cigar got its name from the Italian word for meatball, which Saka wrote “is the perfect moniker for this tasty treat!”
While Saka has not yet commented on the PataPerro name, it appears to be a Spanish colloquial term that means either a wander, wandering, or liking to stroll.
The PataPerro is expected to be featured in Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s booth at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July. Saka has also announced that he will be adding a size to the Mi Querida Black line as well as moving the Red Meat Lovers Club line to a nationally available release after previously being a store exclusive.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
