In 2015, premium cigar guru, Steve Saka, returned to the forefront of humidors across the country, debuting the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust brand. In the company's freshman year, only a single blend was offered—a sophisticated experience with heavy Nicaraguan influence, known as Sobremesa.
In the years following, the company has become known for a host of other smoking profiles, though the original Sobremesa remains just as prominent. With the brand now solidified in the repertoires of cigar enthusiasts, Saka made the decision to showcase a vintage-inspired Connecticut variation. Introducing the Sobremesa Brûlée by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, a meticulously crafted experience intended for the patient and perceptive palate.
Sobremesa Brûlée is assembled atop the tried 'n true chassis of the original Sobremesa cigar, but some tweaks have been made to accommodate the blend's updated Connecticut Shade wrapper. This includes the removal of Pennsylvania ligero in the cigar's filler and an increase of Nicaraguan Condega seco. The end result features an all-Nicaraguan filler, a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder, and a top-shelf grade of BW Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. The cigar is well-constructed, showcasing a pleasing draw and smoke output, bringing soft and nuanced flavors of buttered nuts, cream, nougat, grits, and black tea.
"This is not a cigar to be smoked casually, but rather a relaxing smoking experience meant to be savored slowly." —Steve Saka, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Owner and Master Blender.

My favorite first cigar of the day. Steve did an excellent job blending the Brûlée. Always a tasty, enjoyable smoke and I have never had any construction issues with them and I’ve smoked a lot of these.

This is a great cigar. One of my favorite cigar. Questionable sweetened tip (Hahaha) but love that flavor whatever it is makes this cigar wonderful. This size is a great size and I feel is the best size for this cigar. Always a great smoke with great construction.

With flavors a bit milder than the Sobremesa, yet not as mild as the Brulee Blue, this is a great cigar with your morning coffee, afternoon lunch, after dinner, or late night by the fire.

A decent Connecticut. Not bad, but not my favorite. I’d personally take the blue over this.

Just recently purchase a box and this is a very good morning smoke with black coffee. A little to the mild to barely medium at best. Thank you Steve Saka, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Owner and Master Blender.

This was the 1st cigar I tried from DTT. Since then I've been sold on everything they make. I always have this sticks in my humidor. Was never a big fan on Connecticut wrappers, I was blow away with this cigar. If you haven't tried, trust me you will not be disappointed

As someone who generally smokes maduros and medium-full bodied sticks, this connecticut shade does not disappoint. A natural tobacco sweetness on the lips, and great flavor in this mild to medium cigar that is a winner for any time of day, and not just with your morning coffee

Saka calls this "your grandfathers Connecticut" Its a great morning smoke to have with coffee or a bloody mary. This is one of my go to sticks, always keeping a few on hand in case the mood strikes. Its light, with some definite sweetness near the top, but still enough flavor to keep you interested.

Easily in my top 3 cigars of all time. It’s good as a morning smoke or dessert smoke. The name says it all brûlée. Smooth, sweet, and creamy all the way through.

This is no ordinary CT. Another phenomenal cigar from DT&T. Far from mild, but very smooth. The embodiment of creamy, nutty, caramel-y goodness.

This is such a great cigar!! If Saka hadn't proven otherwise, I would still swear this was sweet tipped. So sweet, but still with a ton of flavor. Light bodied, great construction, a smooth draw, and an even burn. You can't go wrong here!
