While “Mi Querida” translates literally to “my dearest,” the true meaning of the term is a little more risqué. In Nicaragua, Mi Querida refers to the secret mistress. Culturally, it’s not uncommon for a man to have a mistress that his wife knows about and approves of. The “querida,” however, is a woman neither the man’s wife or mistress knows about. And which neither would approve of.

Why name a cigar Mi Querida? Because this blend is Saka’s dearest – the maduro cigar he blended for himself. Crafted at the NACSA factory in Nicaragua, Mi Querida showcases a thick US Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper up top that’s brimming with flavor. Nicaraguan binder and filler round out the blend and deliver an earthy, dense profile that’s extraordinarily rich. Utilizing only 100% naturally fermented tobaccos, Mi Querida is sure to steal your heart.
