Here is why New Hampshire is the GREATEST State in the Union.

The C.A.N.H. Cigar Association of New Hampshire had the pleasure of meeting Governor Kelly Ayotte to present her office with a box of the limited production CANH Fiddlehead and to discuss our small family business as a Manufacturer of Premium Handmade Ci**rs and the various Retailers' businesses in our State.

She was very gracious with her time and genuinely interested in the health and challenges facing all of our collective businesses.

It is a blessing to operate in a State that understands that low taxes and reasonable regulation allow for its citizens, businesses and the State to all prosper together.

Thank you to the Governor's Office for their interest and time.

Dunbarton To***co & Trust is honored to share that we were for the 3rd Consecutive Year ranked the #1 Cigar on the 2024 Consensus List. We were also blessed to garner 3 additional spots in the Top 25.

This list is comprised of averaging the results of 50 different, independent Media published Top Ci**rs of 2024 lists.

Our NEW Umbagog Bronzeback secured the No. 1 spot despite it being a sub-$10 puro.

Also included were:
#4 - Sin Compromiso No. 4
#10 - Sobremesa Brûlée Wagashi
#17 - Dondurma

Of particular note is that #17, I believe it is the very first time any Store Exclusive has ever made this list. Granted it is an exceptional cigar, but credit is owed to Secreto Cigar for investing four plus years into building this brand to the size needed in order to accomplish this feat. Many great store exclusives have been crafted over the last 14 years since the inception of the Consensus, but none has never made the list before. Bravo Zulu to Ronnie Haisha and his staff.

I personally couldn't be prouder of our small team, they are rockstars. And of course none of this would be even remotely possible without our factory partners Nicaragua American Ci**rs S.A or Joya de Nicaragua Ci**rs - year in and year out they keep executing on our behalf at a level that is unparalleled.

Great to***cos + Great factories + Great people = Exceptional Puros... to say I am blessed is an understatement.

So thank you to Juan, Mario, Gustavo, Dave, Yvonne, Amber, Casey, Ana, Aly, Matt, Mariana and of course to my partner in both business and life, Cindy without whom none of this would be possible.

Each year I say the same thing, so much so I literally copied exactly what I wrote last year because I do not know how to say it better:

I do not take this for granted, I understand what a tremendous honor it is to be recognized and respected for my chosen craft. I am grateful and humbled.

My promise remains the same to the patrons of DTT: to always do my utmost to create and craft the best handmade puros in the world and to never stop striving to earn your respect and your continued support.

Thank You.

ps: Thank you to Charlie Minato and halfwheel for the incredible work required to compile and compute this list each year - I know it is not a small undertaking and requires countless hours of work to source dozens of different top lists across print, digital and social media and to then tabulate the results.
---
I ask every one to please visit their site and look at the entire list as only a few points ever separate all 25 of the ci**rs included - All of the ci**rs included are worthy of your experiencing.
Each of these brands and blends are deserving of this honor.

Totally unexpected... and before you call BS on me, please let me explain why.

Retailers, bloggers, magazines... basically anyone that creates Top Lists almost universally "spreads the love" - they almost never include multiple ci**rs from the same Company in their Top Lists and particularly at the tip top of their lists.

I get it, in the end no one can divorce the business or relationship implications of publishing such lists. I know some of you will feign the "holier than thou" purist perspective, but let's not kid ourselves: reality is reality.

There are a few exceptions, but I have been doing this for over 3 decades and I know just how rare it truly is.

So I was completely stunned to see that not only did our Umbagog Bronzeback receive the #1 Spot on the JR Ci**rs Top 25, but that our Sin Compromiso No. 4 was also awarded the #4 Spot... and call me jaded, but this is on a site whose parent company is one of the largest manufacturer of their own GREAT brands of handmade ci**rs in the entire world!

I wouldn't be surprised if their Editorial Board gets a little heat from their bosses, so I can't express how truly honored and grateful we are to have been bestowed this amazing honor because I know naming a small, family company's twice in their Top 5 likely comes with some repercussions.

Thank You, thank you, thank you!

We are honored for our Umbagog Bronzeback to have been named the #1 Cigar of the Year by The Barrel Burner.

Not too shabby for a sub-$10 cigar...

My head is on fire! 🔥

(No hair, so this was the best I could come up with… my brain is FRIED!)

To say I have been in the grind does not even begin to describe where I am at… I am beat to 🦆…

And foolishly I agreed to this:

Tonight, Monday Dec 2nd @ 9:30pm ET I will be making an appearance on How Bout That Cigar LIVE.

Why oh why oh why?

Glutton for punishment?

Fool of the Year?

Wh@re?

Ugh, I agreed, so my totally burnt out, fat a$$ will show, but I am giving all my detractors a head’s up: If you wanna watch me crash and burn in realtime, here just may be your moment of joy.

I will share the link when we go LIVE.
