Mi Querida Triqui Traca by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Mi Querida Triqui Traca may be quite the mouthful, but let's get one thing straight—this is one mouthful you'd be wise to incorporate into your lexicon sooner than later. The name stems from Nicaraguan slang, with 'triqui traca' being massive firecrackers that are interconnected and strung out up to multiple blocks in length. These explosives are lit at one end, cascading with blistering light and sound throughout the city—a tradition that is performed on special holidays in Estelí and other parts of Nicaragua.
With Dunbarton owner, Steve Saka, being no stranger to firecracker-themed cigars (sometimes crafting limited-edition cigars with firecracker fuse tails), the concept fit perfectly when setting out to build a fuller-bodied expression of Dunbarton's original Mi Querida cigar.
Mi Querida Triqui Traca begins with the same earthy core recipe as the standard Mi Querida. But the cigars are stripped of their traditional Broadleaf wrapper, being replaced with a higher-priming (and more rare) Connecticut Broadleaf No. 1 Dark corona variety. In addition, a powerful Dominican ligero leaf has been added to the cigar's filler recipe. The resulting cigar offers a familiar experience for fans of the Mi Querida brand, boosting the blend to medium-plus-plus in intensity. Flavors are thick and earthy, offering notes of sweet (and bitter) chocolate, black pepper, cinnamon, black licorice, and a wasabi-like zing through the nostrils.
