The maker of the self-proclaimed “most controversial cigar of 2021” will sit down with our least controversial writer: Brian Burt. Yes, he still works here.

Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust will be in the halfwheel bunker to talk about StillWell Star, Paladin de Saka, a new Mi Querida Triqui Traca and probably more. Have questions about how many cigars you are legally allowed to bring back into the U.S.? Want to know what the weather in Nicaragua was like 10 days ago? Ask on YouTube or Facebook and maybe Saka will tell you.

In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
