Todos Las Dias, Everyday All day
Steve Saka is one of those names in the cigar industry where if you hear he was involved, you have to try it. It seems as whatever Saka touches turns to gold. From the days with Drew Estate to his current home at Dubarton Tobacco & Trust Company he’s put out one great hit after another. Well today, I have my hands on the Todos Las Dias. Just holding this cigar, you can feel the quality of great construction you’d expect from Mr. Saka. The outer appearance is a chocolate brown with a hint of red with a nice sheen against the contrast of a beautiful classy band. The cold draw is woody with light molasses and spice. First impressions off the foot is a slightly sweet spice with a combination of woods. Smoking further into the first third third, I get a healthy dose of Cayenne pepper, slight molasses, wood and earth tones. The retrohale is SPICY and I love it! Moving into the mid section, I am impressed with the burn and the pace this stick is smoking. Not only is the flavor profile excellent, the manor in which it is smoking creates a wonderful experience. The strength is building and the combination of flavors is wonderful. A combination of toasted cedar, blends of pepper and semi-sweet chocolate dances off the palate. The finish is just as invigorating and I find myself sunken into my chair staring up at the ceiling in pure cigar Heaven. As I head into the final stretch, the stronger pepper is pushed back to the finish and cedar, chocolate, light spice and hints of coffee roll off the palate. The Todos Los Dias was excellent all the way to the final puff. The cigar smokes a hearty full in strength. The draw, as I mentioned, was great. The burn was consistent with very little waviness and no touch ups. The Todos Las Dias is one for the ages. This is not a cigar for the novice, but it is a definite must smoke for all you Cigars for sport folks. If I had my choice, I’d smoke at least one of these a day, placing it anywhere in the rotation but first. If you are a one and done, Todos Las Dias is the only name you need to mention when you walk into the humi. So grab a box or two, plop into your favorite recliner kick your feet up and enjoy the ride. It’s gonna be a good one…
