Broadleaf Maduro
Mi Querida
Mi Querida is a Connecticut Broadleaf–capped line produced for Dunbarton at NACSA that originally paired Broadleaf wrappers with Nicaraguan binders and fillers. Launched in 2016, the line sits in the medium‑full to full lane with earth, dark chocolate/coffee and pepper as signature notes; later Black variants add San Andrés binders and mixed Central American fillers.

Wrapper
Connecticut Broadleaf
Mi Querida began as Dunbarton’s Broadleaf answer: Connecticut Broadleaf capa over Nicaraguan‑built ligas rolled at NACSA, with a toothy, oil‑rich surface and a profile that favors earthy coffee, cocoa and persistent pepper. The cigars trend medium‑full to full—opening on dark‑chocolate and espresso notes before broadening into cream, cedar and intermittent pepper on the retrohale. Different vitolas change the emphasis—short, thick formats push concentration and bite; larger sizes bring sweeter, molasses or raisin‑like development. Subsequent Black and variant releases experiment with San Andrés binders and mixed tripas, so the Mi Querida family reads as a set of Broadleaf explorations rather than a single, static liga.
