Cigar Intel
Umbagog was created by Steve Saka as a cigar he could smoke while fishing, working outside, or doing just about anything where he didn't want to worry about beating up a more expensive cigar. Don't mistake that for a throwaway smoke, though. The Umbagog Toro uses a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos and delivers the kind of rich, satisfying profile Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has become known for.
Crowned Heads Thunderkiss takes things in a slightly different direction. Its Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler, bringing plenty of darker flavor along with pepper and spice.
Put the two together and you've got ten cigars made for exactly what the name suggests: keeping a few darker smokes in the regular rotation.
Sampler includes:
5 - Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Umbagog Toro
5 - Crowned Heads Thunderkiss Robusto

Tasting Notes
Expect plenty of cocoa, espresso, earth, cedar, leather, black pepper, and natural tobacco sweetness throughout this sampler. Umbagog brings the unmistakable richness of Connecticut Broadleaf, while Thunderkiss adds its own mix of dark flavors, spice, and pepper. Both have enough body to satisfy a seasoned smoker without turning The Dark Rotation into a sampler that's all strength and no balance.
