When Steve Saka makes a big ring gauge, you know it’s going to be something special. The Mi Querida Gorila Gordo (6×60) is the latest heavyweight in Dunbarton’s celebrated Mi Querida line, and it comes packed with all the dark, earthy richness fans have come to love. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, this beastly 6×60 is wrapped in a flawless Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper—thick, oily, and brimming with character. Beneath it lies a sturdy Nicaraguan binder and a core of meticulously aged Nicaraguan fillers, blended to deliver the quintessential Mi Querida profile: robust, rustic, and deeply satisfying. On the palate, the Gorila Gordo opens with bold flavors of earth, black pepper, and espresso, soon joined by dark chocolate, leather, and a touch of molasses sweetness. The larger format magnifies the smoke output, producing dense, chewy clouds that coat the palate and evolve gradually through a long, rewarding burn. Despite its size and intensity, the balance is remarkable—complex yet approachable for anyone ready to step into fuller-bodied territory. The Mi Querida Gorila Gordo is unapologetically bold, unapologetically Saka, and absolutely built for smokers who want a cigar as big in presence as it is in flavor.
