Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Ships #GFY Lancero Collection

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has started shipping its newest sampler to retailers.

The #GFY Lancero Collection is a sampler box containing 10 different 7 x 38 lancero vitolas; each is a different blend, and between the 10 there are six different wrappers used. Nine of the cigars are new and one is the Muestra de Saka #NLMTHA lancero that debuted in 2019. 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 a total of 4,150 boxes were produced—an increase from the 3,000 samplers that were originally announced—and each sampler has an MSRP of $159.50.

“I am not disclosing any details about the ligas at this point as I want consumers to experience them blind without any particulars or inherent biases based on the tobaccos – the idea is for folks to compare and contrast them, I am hoping consumers will smoke them and then debate which is the favorite and least favorites,” said Saka, in an email to halfwheel. “At some point down the road, likely sometime next year I will share the info. I just want folks to have ample opportunity to smoke them before I spill the details.”

All 10 of the cigars included in the sampler were rolled at the Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. factory.
