Stillwell Star English No. 27 is one of the four references of the homonymous line introduced on the market by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust in the summer of 2021.
All Stillwell Star cigars come in a single Toro size and differ from each other in the blends. The line has the particularity of including, among the filler leaves, tobacco that is usually used for pipes.
At the foot of the cigar is a ring bearing the name of the blend to identify it immediately. They are sold in finely painted packs of 13 pieces.
The cigar comes in a shiny wrapper, with a Maduro tone, with brown reflections. It is silky to the touch with medium-evident veins. The general construction is excellent, and the filling and draw are good.

Stillwell Star English No. 27: very intense aromas of natural rubber are perceived in the cold draw, enriched by notes of leather and a hint of goudron.
Once lit, the cigar reveals a sapid imprint on the palate. Intense spicy sensations also emerge, and it expresses very marked notes of earth, spices but also of leather, and walnut. The strength is medium-full (4/5).
In the central section, the sapidity and the earthy and spicy notes remain unchanged. On the other hand, peppery aromas (black pepper) and tar nuances emerge. Strength remains unchanged (4/5).
In the last third, a slight bitterness is added to the characteristic sapidity. At the same time, the aromas settle on the usual and unchanged earth and spices, with the addition of a note of natural rubber. The strength remains medium-full (4/5).
Overall, the Stillwell Star English No. 27 offers an extraordinarily intense smoke, albeit based on the combination of earth and spices. However, given the skillful use of unconventional tobaccos in the cigar world, it also provides a unique flavor richness. The strength, albeit sustained, does not overshadow the profile. The evolution is somewhat sacrificed, which, however, does not mean that the smoke is bland.
