“DTT-EX-127 is an experimental blend that is a bench sample utilizing tobaccos from a sample crop of a new Habanesis tripa seed varietal grown in the Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua first harvested in January 2021.
Grown from seeds smuggled in the lining of the leather belt of a Cuban farmer – the whole story is quite unbelievable involving theft, clandestine meetings and absurd negotiations, cash money in a bag, yet true and regretfully I cannot share many details as I do not want to implicate the smuggler.
Included within the liga are 3 full leaves of this new varietal between the base seco, the viso and a ligero all grown at a farm in the heart of the Jalapa Valley with just a splash of “penny” seedleaf added for a touch of pepper. This yet to be officially named leaf is undisputedly the star due to its unique flavor profile: think of a Mexican Chocolate flavor with a distinct sweet cinnamon back note on the palate. Overall medium plus in body, the DTT-EX-127 is smooth, rich, and unique with just the right touch of spice.
This is my first liga utilizing this new filler crop, but it will not be my last.”

Introducing The Great Smoke’s Exclusive 2023 cigar from Southern Draw – the Evening Stock. This premium cigar is expertly crafted with a San Andres Negro wrapper, San Andres Natural binder, and a unique blend of filler tobacco including 25% Corojo 99 Honduras, 25% Criollo 98 Nicaragua, 25% Broadleaf USA, and 25% Piloto Cubano Ligero D.R. Measuring 6.5×48, the Short Churchill B.P. is the perfect size for a full-bodied and flavorful smoking experience.
To fully appreciate the complexities of the Evening Stock, we recommend maintaining it at a lower humidity (60-64%) or dry-boxing it for a day or two before lighting. This cigar is best enjoyed after dinner or a meal, and should be cut straight only, warmed ever so slightly and then smoked slowly to allow the flavors to unfurl. The Evening Stock is a heavy smoke but smooth on the palate, with a clean finish without the heavy viscosity of typical Maduro cigars. This is a cigar for the true aficionado, and one not to be missed!
