(Description taken from Halfwheel.com website)
The new cigar is the Muestra de Saka Krakatoa, a 6 x 48 corona gorda named for Krakatau, a volcano in Indonesia that is regarded as having the second-most deadly eruption in history, killing approximately 60,000 people in 1883.

The blend uses a grade A1, Ecuadorian-grown habano-seed wrapper, while the binder and filler both come from Nicaragua. Specifically, the filler uses a mix of broadleaf, criollo and corojo leaves, though where they are from has not been disclosed. The cigar’s profile is described as being full-bodied with a sweet and spicy sensation on the palate, and strength delivered via retrohales.

Each cigar is finished off with a spiral colita cap that is intended to resemble a volcano, then packaged into individual coffins. Pricing is set at $20.75 per cigar and $145.25 for a box of seven cigars. It is produced at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. in Estelí.

Krakatoa is the seventh release in the Muestra de Saka line, a collection of cigars with a name that means sample of Saka, and comes with an invitation to catch a glimpse into Steve Saka’s blending machinations. It’s a cigar that has been in the works for several years, first coming to light in 2021 but then was delayed in early 2022 due to lingering delays from the COVID-19 pandemic.
