Dunbarton Polpetta short corona is a tiny 4 by 48 with Nicaraguan filler, a Mexican San Andres binder and a dark brown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. I’m intrigued by that alone. It’s a medium bodied, medium-full strength cigar – full by the finish line.
Coffee, spice and earthy mineral notes hit you on the first puffs. The next flavors entering the profile are oak, semi-sweet chocolate, dried fruit (raisins, apricots?), and leather. This little cigar packs a lot of flavor and some strength by the final third. It did become harsh by the finish.
The retrohale has some serious pepper – like the server kept grinding the pepper mill over your salad well past the time you said “When.”
Good draw with a fair amount of resistance. The construction is surprisingly good for such a small cigar. The ash held on to over a half inch before flaking off and a straight even burn line.
It’s not very complex with really no transitions after the first few minutes, but for a short corona it is a somewhat enjoyable smoke. A 3;5 on the Cigar World Richter scale.
