Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Robusto

HISTORY

Cigars without compromise. This is an expression of the deeply held ethos at Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and states in just three simple words everything they wish to accomplish. Cigars are more than just a passion for DTT; they are their life.

They want to create puros that pay respectful tribute to the long, vaulted history of handmade Vitolas, honour the dedicated works of all the vegueros, torcedors and artists who dedicate their labours to this timeless craft. Their goal is to always offer the connoisseur an unparalleled smoking experience, bar none.

Their ligador and catador de puros, Steve Saka, demands the most exact standards to be always honoured. Regarded as a cigar expert throughout the industry, he is credited as being an experienced cigar maker, a prolific author regarding cigars and black tobaccos, a forefather within the online media segment and a dynamic tobacco industry executive.

In 2000, he worked directly for Lew Rothman, the former owner of JR Cigars, as an executive for four years, and he subsequently served as the President then CEO of Drew Estate from 2005 through 2013. In 2015, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by establishing the family-held Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust to craft cigars without any compromise.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust’s cigars have all been rated exceptionally high, including at the top of hundreds of annual lists, and they are the only maker to have been named the ‘Company of the Year’ for 4 consecutive years by the Halfwheel Consensus.

SOMBREMESA BRULEE

Sobremesa has no precise English translation; ‘Over the table’ is the closest we can get. It is an idiom used in Latin culture to describe the leisurely time spent at the table after you have finished eating.

It is the experience of lingering with family and friends in conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking and enjoying each other’s company. Sobremesa is one of life’s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.

The Sobremesa Brûlée is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga, the Brûlée features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, San Andres Negro binder and filler from Nicaragua. This produces a mild to medium cigar with soft, creamy flavours of cedar, caramel and café, which are complemented by its inherent sweetness being allowed to blossom on the palate and nose. A nuttiness is also apparent within this blend.
