Dunbarton makes a fine cigar called âMi Querida,â but along the way they found some wrapper leaf that, while it was of excellent quality in terms of flavor, was not quite pretty enough for Mi Querida standards. So, what do you do when you have a cigar that doesnât have the appearance you were hoping for? Use it for a new âvalueâ line!
Oh my gog, what a great idea!
Umbagog (say: um-BAY-gog) is actually the name of a lake in Coös County, New Hampshire where Saka likes to go fishing. Itâs right by the border with Maine and the name comes from the Abenaki Indian phrase for âshallow water.â As Saka reports, you can pull a ton of huge smallmouth bass out of the water, and youâll also be kept company by eagles, osprey, and the occasional moose grazing or otter playing. Sounds like heaven, right? Only if you have the right cigar!
The Dunbarton Umbagog was designed to be fairly rugged â a fishermanâs friend, strong enough to take a trip out into the wild or to live between your teeth when youâre out doing yard work, building a treehouse, or any other project that gets you out of the house. Itâs got a nice hearty Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a classic Saka Nicaraguan blend inside that delivers flavors of creamy oak, almonds, dark cocoa, and black pepper.
As Saka says, âThis is a cigar that doesnât pretend to be special or seek to elicit the âoohs or aahsâ of the cigar snobs. It is an honest, hardworking cigar that is meant to be smoked, chewed upon and lit however many times you wish.â So, you officially have permission to smoke this one your way (as if you needed it).
