This Dunbarton Year of the Pausers 2026 Toro cigar is made in Nicaragua. Outside, you'll find a Varied wrapper. Inside, the binder is Varied, and the filler is Varied. This is a Medium strength Toro shaped cigar with a length of 6.00 and a ring gauge of 48. Only 2700 boxes of this limited edition cigar were produced.

Some cigars are made to fill humidors. Others are created to tell a story. The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Year of the Pausers is one of the most personal and collectible releases Steve Saka has ever produced — crafted as a tribute to longtime cigar personalities Tom and Michelle Pauser and designed to celebrate two completely different smoking experiences in one extraordinary package.

What makes this release stand apart is that it contains two distinct blends, each tailored specifically to the personalities and palates of Tom and Michelle. Inside every box, smokers will find seven cigars blended for Michelle and seven blended for Tom — two unique interpretations from the mind of Steve Saka.

Michelle’s blend leans refined, elegant, and nuanced, offering a rich balance of creaminess, cocoa, espresso, and subtle sweetness layered over exceptional complexity. Tom’s blend takes a darker and bolder approach, delivering deeper notes of earth, dark chocolate, caramelized richness, and powerful spice with a fuller-bodied profile.

Even more impressive, the cigars are produced at different factories in Nicaragua to ensure each blend achieves its intended character and smoking experience. That level of detail and dedication is exactly why Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust has become one of the most respected names in premium cigars.

With only 2,700 boxes produced worldwide, Year of the Pausers is destined to become one of the hardest-to-find Dunbarton releases of the year. This is the kind of cigar collectors chase, enthusiasts talk about, and smokers regret missing once it disappears.

And once these are gone, they are gone for good.
