The Mi Querida Gorila Gordo cigar expands the core Mi Querida lineup from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust with a larger format that builds on the brand’s bold, Broadleaf-driven identity. Originally introduced in 2016, Mi Querida has become one of the company’s defining lines, known for its unapologetic richness and working-class ethos. The Gorila Gordo cigar was developed to add a thicker option to the portfolio, ultimately landing on a 6" x 60 size that offers presence without overshadowing other large-ring offerings in the range.
The Mi Querida Gorila Gordo cigar features a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, maintaining the blend foundation that has defined the line from the beginning. Produced at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA), the cigar is finished with a distinctive 109-style cap (a hybrid between a traditional round cap and a belicoso tip), adding both visual character and a slightly concentrated draw at the start. The larger ring gauge allows the Nicaraguan core to open up while preserving the dense, earthy personality Mi Querida fans expect.
What does the Dunbarton Mi Querida Gorila Gordo cigar taste like?
The Mi Querida Gorila Gordo cigar delivers a medium-to-full-bodied profile anchored in dark earth, espresso, and bittersweet cocoa. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper contributes a natural sweetness that balances the blend’s pepper and savory depth, while the thicker format promotes a cooler burn and steady progression. As the cigar develops, notes of black coffee and subtle spice emerge, finishing with a lingering, hearty richness that defines the Mi Querida experience in a larger, slower-smoking format.
