StillWell Star by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Holiday Y2025

For the fourth year running, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust is unwrapping a seasonal treat for fans of the StillWell Star line, this time rolled in a connoisseur-favorite 5" x 48 size. The StillWell Star project has always been a unique bridge between the cigar and pipe worlds, with Steve Saka joining forces with the famed Cornell & Diehl pipe house to craft blends that fuse premium cigar tobacco with aromatic pipe leaf. The StillWell Star Holiday Y2025 cigar keeps that whimsical spirit alive, arriving in a smaller format for the first time.

As usual, the cigar begins with a pale Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, surrounding a Mexican San Andrés negro binder and a Nicaraguan core blended with select pipe tobaccos from Cornell & Diehl. Each component was carefully measured to achieve what Saka calls “the perfect size” for showcasing the blend's sweet, aromatic character.

Fans can expect a warm and comforting profile that lives up to its name, offering notes of buttered crackers, baking spice, and (yes...) sugar plums. In the end, StillWell Star Holiday Y2025 captures the same charm as a fireside dessert: rich, familiar, and just indulgent enough to keep you out of the cookie jar.
