From Halfwheel:

In late 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust shipped its latest exclusive release to Secreto Cigar Bar of Ferndale, Mich. Named Dondurma, the new release gets is moniker from a specific way of making ice cream in Turkey so that it resembles taffy in consistency, is chewy when eaten and does not melt.

Rolled in a single vitola—a 6 x 48 toro—Dondurma is a blend that Dunbarton owner Steve Saka says he finished in 2015, but decided not to sell because he felt like it “was (a) difficult cigar to explain to consumers unless (done) face to face” since the cigar is specifically blended so that most of the flavor is present on the retrohale. The cigar is made up of an Ecuadorian habano “double dark rosado” wrapper from La Meca, a Mexican San Andrés negro “cultivo tonto” binder and three tobaccos sourced from Nicaragua: a five-year-old hybrid criollo ligero from Estelí, corojo 98 viso from Estelí and criollo 99 seco from Jalapa. In addition, the filler includes tobacco that Saka describes as a “variation of Wisconsin Comstock.”
