Dunbarton, NH – Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust® (DTT) has begun shipping its highly anticipated StillWell Star® handcrafted luxury pipe tobacco cigar to its Purveyors.

The initial release includes four unique expressions, each representing a particular pipe tobacco genre custom blended by the famed head blender, Jeremy Reeves, of the legendary American pipe tobacco maker Cornell &
Diehl® (C&D). Our master ligador, Steve Saka, then crafted four different independent cigar blends to best showcase each of these pipe tobacco styles to cigar smokers.

“Sometimes the stars just align.” states Saka. “Although handmade cigars are my first passion, I have also been a pipe smoker for over three decades. During an impromptu discussion with Jeremy as he was sharing with me that really enjoyed my cigars, I replied in kind that I was a big fan of his pipe tobaccos. I think he was surprised when I just started rattling off some of my favorites and why. And then it really caught his interest when I told him that for decades I had been using some of my favorite C&D tobaccos added into cigars just for my own enjoyment.”

Saka continues, “He expressed an interest in trying them and it was at that moment the basic concept for
StillWell Star was born - to see if it was possible to do what I was doing privately to scale. Honestly, this was one
of the most extensive and difficult blending processes I have ever engaged in – it involved sampling hundreds of
existing pipe blends, then a myriad of custom pipe blends crafted solely for this project and ultimately hundreds
of variations of cigars to get them just right. For me the goal was to make a cigar that delivered a truly different
experience to the cigar smoker, but also stayed true to the style of pipe tobacco each featured. Although these
are cigars first and not a pipe replacement, I wanted the seasoned pipe smoker to be able to spark up a Bayou
No. 32 and instantly recognize the citrus zest and unique umami aromas and tastes of a classic “vaper” pipe
blend that they would enjoy in a bowl.”

“While there have be pipe tobacco cigars offered in the marketplace in the past, they have typically been of
subpar quality in both their tobaccos and construction. They also tend to be uber sweet and syrupy on the palate.
I don’t smoke that, I don’t make, I don’t want that. The StillWell Star’s puros are crafted for balance and nuance
with the absolute best pipe and cigar tobaccos available with meticulous attention paid to their leaf, their blends
and their crafting. It truly is the world’s first Luxury pipe cigar and I am genuinely excited for my fellow cigar
smokers to enjoy this new experience,” states Saka.

StillWell Star is offered in 4 unique, classic pipe blends:

Aromatic No. 1: The finest of aromatic Black Cavendish, Golden Virginia and Burley pipe tobaccos added to a
mild, Nicaraguan puro to provide a delightfully smooth and room pleasing smoking experience. Each cigar is
delicately finished with a cabeza dulce. Strength: Mild-Medium

English No. 27: A quintessential mix of Burley and Turkish leaf with a generous portion of Cypriot Latakia pressed
cake paired with Nicaraguan cigar tobaccos. Rich and decadent, this is a Latakia-Lover's puro worthy of being
smoked in an English Manor House. Strength: Medium-Full

Bayou No. 32: A combination of Bright and Red Virginia leaf with the most select St. James Parish Perique pipe
tobacco added to a medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro. It rewards the smoker with a classic yet entrancing, any
time of the day relaxing experience with a spicy finish. Strength: Medium Plus

Navy No. 1056: A crumble cake of stoved Red and Golden Virginias with a touch of "Naval Rations" combined
with Orientals and Latakia expertly blended with dark air-cured black cigar leaf, this puro rewards the smoker
with a unique, aromatic indulgence. Strength: Medium

Crafted at Joya de Nicaragua, S. A., the StillWell Star has intentionally been released in just a single 6 x 52 parejo
format as DTT wants the smoker to focus on their flavors and room notes, not their size. Packed in 13ct boxes
that contain an integrated shelf talker describing the unique pipe tobaccos in each, the cigars retail for $15.30
MSRP each.

Initial availability of these cigars will be limited due to pre-release demand.
