Sin Compromiso was presented in September 2018 by Dunbarton Tabacco & Trust. Five sizes are currently produced, including the Seleccion No. 5, a Toro. The peculiarity of this line lies in a fire-cured Mexican San Andres leaf. The production is entrusted to Joya de Nicaragua.
Each box contains 13 cigars, and each of them is presented wrapped in a cedar sleeve that covers the cigar from the foot to the band.
The cigar is rolled in an opaque wrapper, with a Maduro Oscuro color, with brown reflections. To the touch, it is rough with some small veins present. Construction and filling are flawless.

Sin Compromiso Seleccion No. 5: there are clear and intense aromas of damp wood, earth, and leather present on the nose.
The smoke’s beginning is sapid, while the profile offers a very evident wood note, enriched by less intense tones of earth, spices, and minerals. Strength is light (1/5).
The sapidity remains unchanged, while the mineral and earthy tones increase in intensity, becoming equal to the wood. Strength grows, becoming medium – light (2/5).
The last third is almost a mirror image of the central section, were it not for the nutty aroma which replaces the mineral note. Strength is also unchanged (2/5).
Ultimately, despite its somewhat imposing appearance, the Sin Compromiso Seleccion No. 5 turns out to be a well manageable smoke. The strength is contained, all to the benefit of the aromas, which are well defined. There is a smoky sensation present attributable to the fire-cured wrapper throughout the smoke, which you may like or not.
Despite all these qualities, the cigar loses point due to its contained evolution, which is not as broad as expected from the size.
