@Meatman Blender Steve Saka, diligently and, worked on a blend that would be unleashed by the palate pairing of juicy red meat. For this savory blend, Steve traveled to Nicaragua, meticulously assembling this cigar while "under the influence" of the country's top-grade porterhouse steaks (aka "chuleta de dos lomos"). This lead to the selection of a Connecticut Broadleaf No. 1 Dark (maduro) wrapper, which was secured over a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers of Nicaragua and the U.S. The end result is a powerhouse smoking experience with FULL strength and loads of oily goodness! The cigars were crafted in a singular Toro Gordo size (6" x 52) in 2018 ans 2019, which has been carefully adorned with a Rosette Pigtail cap (hey, sometimes you need a little pork with your beef). The Red Meat Lover's Cigar became so widely popular, that it was the first Microblend Series to become an annual release for Smoke Inn. In 2020, The Meat Box Pressed (MBP) vitola was released in a meaty 6x52 box pressed version of the blend. According to Saka, the vitola change added a dynamic that enhanced the blend and it's pairing with red meat. Well he was spot on and the MBP size was reprised for the 2021 version. The Red Meat Lover's Cigar has quickly become the most sought after single store exclusive releases in the world. Flavors range from charred meat, to earth, dark chocolate, fat, and the elusive umami. Just don't say we didn't warn you not to smoke this puppy on an empty stomach...
