TheMi Querida Triqui Traca 652 demonstrates Steve Saka's understanding that strength and sophistication need not be opposing qualities. Built around the earthy richness of Connecticut Broadleaf and the considerable intensity of carefully selected Ligero, Triqui Traca takes the original Mi Querida's Maduro character into decidedly more powerful territory. Its name references the explosive strings of firecrackers familiar in Nicaragua, but the cigar's real distinction lies in the deliberate selection and balance of its tobaccos.
Handcrafted at NACSA in Nicaragua, the6" x 52 Toro features a Connecticut Broadleaf No. 1 Dark Corona wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a substantial filler blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos and high-strength Dominican Ligero. The additional length provides a measured presentation of the blend's full-bodied character, allowing its darker nuances to develop across an extended smoke. Earth, seasoned wood, black pepper, and roasted coffee form the foundation, while the Broadleaf contributes a restrained sweetness reminiscent of dark cocoa and molasses. The result is a cigar with considerable depth, a firm structure, and a lingering finish.
Triqui Traca 652 is particularly suited to the seasoned smoker who appreciates powerful tobacco delivered with purpose and precision. Its Toro proportions provide an excellent opportunity to explore the blend's complexity, making it a worthy selection for those who favor richly fermented Broadleaf and a substantial Nicaraguan smoking experience.
