"Polpetta is not a traditional sandwich cigar," says Steve Saka. If he hadn't said that you'd probably never know it was a sandwich blend. And once you smoke a Polpetta you won't care. Formerly an "event" cigar, Polpetta (Italian for "meatball"), was finally released as a regular production cigar in 2023. The vitola measures 4x48 and boasts a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Mexican San Andres binder. The "mixed" filler core employs cuts from three of DT&T's most popular cigar lines: Mi Querida, Mi Querida Triqui Traca, and Umbagog.
“In addition to the table cuts, we also incorporate some long leaf filler tripa - so it is a far better grade and hybrid style of making this type of cigar… an improvement of the process I pioneered many years ago.”
You can expect a smoke that's smooth and creamy with a rich, full-bodied Nicaraguan flavor profile complemented by caramel-like sweetness. Polpetta also comes in a box of 25 at a very reasonable price. As a result, these Petite Robustos have become hotter than a Dutton branding iron. Add a box to your cart before they say Ciao!
