StillWell Star, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s new pipe tobacco-inspired release, is debuting this Friday at a store that has some ties to the cigar itself.
This is one of the most unique line of cigars to debut in recent years, a quartet of 6 x 52 toros that each use the same wrapper and binder. If that wasn’t enough, not only does each cigar use a different filler tobacco blend, some of the filler tobaccos themselves are different than what’s found in other cigars. Each cigar contains a different type of pipe of tobacco.
- StillWell Star Aromatic No. 1 (6 x 52) — $15.30 (Box of 13, $198.89) — Includes Black Cavendish, Golden Virginia and Burly pipe tobaccos as well as Nicaraguan leaves in the filler.
- StillWell Star English No. 27 (6 x 52) — $15.30 (Box of 13, $198.89) — Includes Burly and Turkish pipe tobaccos as well as a “generous portion” of Cypriot Latakia pressed cake and Nicaraguan leaves in the filler.
- StillWell Star Bayou No. 32 (6 x 52) — $15.30 (Box of 13, $198.89) — Includes Bright, Red Virginia and St. James Parish Perique pipe tobaccos as well as Nicaraguan leaves in the filler.
- StillWell Star Navy No. 1056 (6 x 52) — $15.30 (Box of 13, $198.89) — Includes stoved Red and Golden Virginias, a “touch of “Naval Rations,” Orientals and Latakia pipe tobaccos blended with dark air-cured black cigar leaves in the filler.
All four cigars use a high-priming Ecuadorian habano oscuro wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés negro “cultivo tronto” binder.
