SOBREMESA BRÛLÉE BLUE Cigar Review | #leemack912 (S08 E75)
n August 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust began shipping a blend that owner Steve Saka has stated was an attempt to recreate Connecticut-wrapped blends of the past. The Sobremesa Brûlée, the line was meant to be a milder version of the company’s Sobremesa blend covered in a Connecticut wrapper instead of a habano leaf, but also with less Nicaraguan ASP ligero and Pennsylvania ligero, both of which were replaced by secco tobacco from the Condega, Nicaragua. The three-vitola line debuted during the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, with a fourth vitola added in April of this year.

Fast forward to June, when the company announced a “tweaked” version of the Sobremesa Brûlée blend named Sobremesa Brûlée Blue. Available in just one size—a 6 1/4 x 46 grand corona with a pigtail cap—the new cigar incorporates an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper covering a Mexican binder and four different Nicaraguan fillers and have been aged for at least one year after being rolled.

Production-wise, the Sobremesa Brûlée Blue was rolled at the Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. factory and limited to 1,000 boxes of 13 cigars, with each cigar carrying a retail price of $14.95. The new release was originally scheduled to be released at the 2020 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which was scheduled to take place July 11-14 in Las Vegas. However, the convention was canceled due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and boxes began shipping to retailers on Aug. 13.

It should also be mentioned that last month saw the release of the STFU!!! sampler, the name of which is a double entendre that stands for either “Saka’s Taste for U’rself” or the normal acronym of shut the fuck up. The sampler was released by Saka after some people said they noticed a sweetened cap on the regular production Sobremesa Brûlée cigars, and includes five 6 x 52 cigars, each labeled with either S, T, F, U or !!! symbol. In fact, each of the cigars are either a normal Sobremesa Brûlée, or a sweet-tipped cigar, or a double sweet-tipped Brûlée, and Saka will not tell anyone which was which until it is officially revealed tomorrow.
