Mi Querida by Steve Saka 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.

Cigar wise, it represents my personal maduro desires: a robust, extremely flavorful liga comprised of rich Nicaraguan leaf. Which is hand rolled in a 100% naturally fermented, heavy Broadleaf capa. It is delightfully lush and full bodied on the palate offering an extremely satisfying experience for the most passionate of cigar smokers.

The Mi Querida brand is known for its boldness and potency. With the release of the Mi Querida Black Sakakhan, this sought after brand takes it one step further by using filler leaves from the Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua then rolling them into a dark Mexican San Andres binder and finally cloaking it with an ebony Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper.

Muestra de Saka is just that. A line of unique blends and vitolas made in extremely limited quantities that reflect the blending machinations of myself. They include many different expressions and are often crafted of leaf I am less familiar with or not even a particular fan of to create something of worth beyond my own previous experiences.

The Sobremesa Brulee by Steve Saka is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga in which the Pennsylvania Seedleaf ligero has been removed. The Condega Seco has been increased and the Capa is now a top shelf grade of Ecuador Connecticut Shade. The result is a milder, even smoother adaptation of the Sobremesa blend that continues to retain its wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.

Sobremesa by Steve Saka is a lush liga with a creamy core laced with abundant notes of cedar, cocoa and café, which is punctuated by a tellicherry peppercorn retrohale. Pleasing to the nose and providing the smoker a delightfully sweet, lingering finish.

StillWell Star is the world’s first luxury pipe tobacco cigar. Our Master Ligador, Steve Saka, while known for being one of the world’s foremost cigar experts has also been a pipe smoker for over three decades. For many years he has casually crafted handmade cigars incorporating some of his favorite pipe tobaccos into blends for his own personal consumption.

Todos Los Dias is a supple, sungrown Cuban Seed capa encapsulates its intricate tripa recipe of rich Jalapa and Esteliano tobaccos. From the first puff, there is no doubt of the origin of this cigar or that it is intended solely for the seasoned cigar smoker. ¡Viva Nicaragua!

“Oom-BAH-gog” is a perfect cigar for my time upon her waters. It is robust and durable, designed to endure the rigors of outside activity with its thick broadleaf capa and easy burning liga. This is a cigar that doesn’t pretend to be special or seek to elicit the “oohs or aahs” of the cigar snobs.
