Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s Todos Las Dias (TLD) is getting a line extension that will debut at this year’s International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR). The TLD Thick Lonsdale “Mas Fuerte” will be a 6 x 46 parejo with a pigtail-finished head. It will be packaged in 10-count boxes with a “Mas Fuerte” label. The MSRP will be $11.95 per cigar and $119.50 per box.
In a press release, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s founder Steve Saka commented: “The Thick Lonsdale ‘Mas Fuerte’ is the result of some confusion between myself and the factory. When originally blending the TLD liga there were two finished core blends comprised of the same tobaccos, but with different proportions. Ultimately, I selected the one I felt worked best in the original formats to be released and relegated the other to my blending diary. When it came time to add the Thick Lonsdale to the line, I inadvertently gave them the recipe for the stronger iteration. In their defense, the factory asked me to verify the blend twice, but I managed to still muck it up and authorized them to produce 200 boxes as instructed. I didn’t actually realize my mistake until I was smoking the post production cigars for quality control purposes. Right away I knew something was askew.
