Steve Saka'sMi Querida Triqui Traca 764 is a formidable expression of Connecticut Broadleaf, a tobacco prized for the depth, texture, and natural sweetness that emerge from careful cultivation and fermentation. Conceived as a more muscular interpretation of the original Mi Querida, Triqui Traca takes its name from the explosive strings of Nicaraguan firecrackers. Yet beneath its provocative identity lies a thoughtfully composed blend that places tobacco character well ahead of novelty.
The imposing7" x 64 vitola brings together a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a substantial core of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers. Dominican Ligero contributes additional strength and density, while the Broadleaf provides a rich counterpoint to the filler’s earthy intensity. Expect a deeply textured progression of dark-roasted coffee, mineral earth, aged wood, and assertive pepper, with restrained bittersweet cocoa and molasses-like sweetness lending balance. The considerable ring gauge gives the tobaccos room to express themselves without allowing strength to become the sole attraction.
Triqui Traca 764 is best appreciated by the experienced smoker who understands the distinction between power and complexity. It is a substantial commitment of time and palate, rewarding deliberate smoking with the richness, structure, and unmistakable tobacco pedigree that have become hallmarks of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust.
