Polpetta

Polpetta is a handmade puro crafted from the chaveta cuts generated in the crafting of DT&T’s top shelf Broadleaf ligas.

Traditionally a factory collects these “table trimmings” from the production of all their long- filler, handmade cigars regardless of their blend, chops all the leaf fine and then makes inexpensive short fill, sandwich cigars with a constantly varying blend, an inexpensive wrapper and little attention to detail. This is a means for the factory owner to cash recover some of their material costs.

However, the Polpetta is a non-traditional approach to this problem of waste not, want not. DT&T carefully saves only the very best table trimmings from the making of their premium Broadleaf ligas such as Mi Querida, including the Triqui Traca and Black variations, Umbagog and Red Meat Lovers. Then they diligently sort the cuts for specific tobaccos, retain those they wish to use and then pair those with two long leaf tripas to create a consistent filler recipe. They secure the bunch with our first rate San Andreas Negro binder and wrap the cigars with the outside cuts from our best Broadleaf capa.

The Polpetta is a unique elevation of the sandwich-style cigar – one executed with only the finest ingredients and with an acute attention to detail. It burns cool, is deftly rolled, provides a proper draw and even holds an ash while also delivering a flavorful, rich and robust smoking experience.

If they didn’t disclose that these toothy, petite robustos were “cortes medianos”, the smoker would likely never know as it is a superior cigar to many long filler handmade cigars that cost considerably more.

Polpetta is perfect for the experienced cigar smoker who wants the absolute best flavor for the least cost.
