Brand: Mi Querida Cigars

Mi Querida Cigars – A Bold, Passionate Blend for the Hardcore Cigar Enthusiast

Mi Querida (pronounced “me kay ree dah”) literally translates to “my dearest”—or, more provocatively, “my secret mistress.” It’s a rather provocative word that perfectly captures the spirit of this rich, full-bodied cigar designed for the hardcore cigar enthusiast who seeks an extremely satisfying experience. Created by Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Mi Querida is not for the faint of palate. This blend was expressly crafted to reflect Saka’s personal maduro desires and is basically approved only for those who crave intense flavor, depth, and complexity.

Flavor Profile That Teases the Palate

The core of Mi Querida is a bold liga, built on a dense filler of rich Nicaraguan leaf hand-selected for its earthy, sweet, and robust characteristics. The Nicaraguan binder supports a heavy broadleaf capa—a traditional Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro—that delivers layers of coffee, leather, earth, and chocolate, all mingling with slightly peppery notes, syrupy sweetness, and a slightly dirty finish. The result? A delightfully lush, full-bodied cigar that consistently produces copious smoke punctuated with spicy complexity and long-teasing flavor.

Cigar-wise, it’s an extremely flavorful liga comprised of high-octane ligero grown in the most fertile regions of Nicaragua, making it an irresistible stick for discerning cigar smokers.

Meet the Mi Querida Triqui Traca

For those looking to take it up a notch, the Mi Querida Triqui Traca—named after oversized firecrackers in local Nicaraguan slang—adds even more spice and power. With a higher-priming Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, ancho largo fillers, and master cigarmaker Raul Disla overseeing production, Triqui Traca delivers a firecracker of flavor with black pepper, dark sweetness, and unwavering intensity.

Elegantly Understated, Unapologetically Bold

While the flavors explode, the presentation stays humble—packaged simply in understated boxes, Mi Querida cigars are offered only through select purveyors who value authenticity and craftsmanship. Whether you’re smoking the original blend or the amped-up Triqui, each cigar offers a greatest value proposition in its class. From the first light to the final draw, every Mi Querida cigar delivers a rich, bodied experience that is nothing short of an extremely satisfying experience.

Types of Mi Querida Cigars

Mi Querida is a medium to full-bodied blend with notes of sweet, earthy broadleaf notes and is available in the standard blend. If you are looking to kick things up a notch, the Mi Querida Triqui Traca contains the same great blend as the original with a few key components incorporated to give it a little more heft to every puff.

 Mi Querida Triqui Traca Cigars

The Mi Querida Triqui Traca (pronounced “me kay-ree-dah tree-kee trah-ka”) cigar by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust is arguably their boldest cigar released to date.

“Triqui Traca” is local Nicaraguan slang for oversized firecrackers that are connected by fuses in a long serial string. These explosive ropes are then laid down in the center of the street and sometimes stretch multiple blocks. Ignited from one end, they explode in a cascading line of powerful concussions and blinding light down the entire length of the street. Triqui Traca are often ignited on the celebration of important religious and national holidays. This cultural icon is an ideal moniker for the power and explosive nature of this cigar.

At its core, it remains the quintessential Mi Querida blend with its earthy, sweet broadleaf notes, but with the incorporation of a couple refinements. The capa has been switched from the traditional Connecticut Broadleaf Mediums to the rarer No. 1 Dark corona leaves plus a unique, high octane ligero grown in the Dominican Republic has also been introduced into the liga.

The resulting cigar retains its inherent sweet loam and chocolate characteristics yet delivers a significantly fuller bodied smoking experience.

Mi Querida Triqui Traca is handcrafted at the recently renovated NACSA cigar factory under the stewardship of their new Master Cigarmaker Raul Disla at my direction. Please understand, this cigar is intended for those who crave the heaviest of maduro smokes.

These cigars are available in a (5 x 52), (6 x 52), and a (7 x 64).

Mi Querida Black Cigars

“Black” is the third iteration of this style of blend within the Mi Querida family of puros. It retains the soul of our two other ligas within the line, however with the addition of a very select grade of Honduran grown Habano Seed tripa incorporated into the blend. Only the finest materials are utilized from the exhaustively “creamed” tripas, to the very best grade of dark Connecticut-grown Broadleaf capas with acute attention paid to their craftsmanship. Robust, rich, and decadently satisfying, the Limited Production Mi Querida Black SakaKhan is the apex of broadleaf cigars.

Mi Querida Cigars 

The Mi Querida cigar by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has generated a ton of buzz in the cigar community with its complexity and medium to full bodied richness.

Mi Querida (pronounced “me kay-ree-dah”) literally translates as “my dearest”, however it is a rather provocative word within Nicaragua used to expressly describe your secret mistress. While this may sound like an oxymoron, it is not. It is not uncommon in the culture for a man to have a mistress that is both known by and basically approved of by his wife, whereas the “Mi Querida” is the woman who neither his wife or mistress know about or would ever approve of. Cigar wise, it represents my personal maduro desires: a robust, extremely flavorful liga comprised of rich Nicaraguan leaf hand rolled in a 100% naturally fermented, heavy Broadleaf capa. Earthy and dense with a long teasing, slightly dirty finish, Mi Querida is delightfully lush and full bodied on the palate offering an extremely satisfying experience for the most passionate of cigar smokers.

Mi Querida is handcrafted at the recently renovated NACSA cigar factory under the stewardship of their new Master Cigarmaker Raul Disla at my direction. Packaged simply in understated boxes, this brand is an expression of the greatest value possible for the hardcore cigar enthusiast. As always, the pace of its production is being dictated by the tobaccos themselves and therefore it will be limited in its availability via Select Purveyors for the foreseeable future.
