Steve Saka Todos las Dias

Firm roll but good draw, foot and wrapper have a slight dark chocolate aroma. Initial draw also has Dark Chocolate notes with a very strong but pleasant tobacco flavor.



The burn is perfect with a light grey ash. The Topo Chico cleans the palate between draws giving a fresh flavor. This is a very smooth yet strong cigar. It also smokes very slow, adding to the flavor.

There is a very light white pepper on the retrohale, adding to the enjoyment of the cigar. Comparing the cigar with Saka's other offerings, it's more like the Sobramesa than the Mi Querida, but is its own cigar.

At 1/3 it continues to develop into a nice complex smoke with less chocolate and more complex tobacco. So far it is developing into a cigar that is complex flavorful smoke.

The burn continues to be perfect and flat burning. The white pepper notes continue to provide a very pleasant complex flavor. The complexity continues to develop nicely. It almost reminds me of a Trinidad in the way it changes flavors.



At 2/3 it changes again to a very pleasant flavor almost beyond description. To say it it's completely changes is a very good description. Once again, the Topo Chico adds to the complexity.

I will admit that I am a fan of Steve Saka cigars, and this one does not disappoint. Nearing the end of the cigar provides yet another flavor change that is again a pleasant complexity.

This is another cigar that I would like to have a cigar extender because I don't want it to end. As it is I will have to put it down at one inch.

A purge let's me nub this cigar. Excellent construction and perfect burn earn this one a 9/10. Joe Bob says check it out .

Nice. I have a sampler bag of Dunbarton offerings that I am looking forward to when I read reviews like this.

Just starting my first one. Early days yet, but I get the chocolate slightly. The smoke coming from the cigar , as I type, is terrific.

Two more easy, very generous draws later, and I get the chocolate, now. I also perceive dark roast coffee. I have not experienced that flavor so clearly since my very first La Luna African Fuerte 16 years ago! This is a flavorful cigar, and it is giving a ton of dense, wonderful smoke.

My gracious, but this is a great cigar.

Keyboard is dead, I may add to this later.

I'd have bought some of these by now except there is no Corona Gorda size in this line.

I liked the Short Churchill so much when I tried it from a 5-pack a month ago, I bought a box immediately.
