There’s always a new cigar brand, the latest of the bunch just happens to be Dunstable. There is no story of ancestral history in tobacco, no stories of top Cuban rollers, there’s actually very little story. Dunstable was started by Frederick Boucher—a longtime smoker—who wanted to make a cigar for him and his friends. Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that Boucher is releasing just one cigar. Not just one blend, but a single blend in a single size. He did make more than one cigar, the first production run was 1,001 boxes of 10 cigars. The size is a 6 1/2 x 42 lonsdale that uses a pronounced pigtail similar to the Liga Privada Papas Fritas. It’s known as the Dunstable Cervantes and made at Plasencia Cigars S.A. using Nicaraguan filler and a habano rosado wrapper. The cigars have a suggested retail price of $9 and have already begun shipping to retailers. Cigar Reviewed: Dunstable Cervantes Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Plasencia Cigars S.A.
