To the diehard liga fan, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust was a project that couldn’t come soon enough—it was only a matter of the “when”, not “if”. Of course, fans of this new company didn’t know exactly what it was they were waiting for, only that the man behind the project would deliver. We’re speaking of Mr. Steve Saka, former CEO of Drew Estate—playing a part in Drew Estate’s legendary Liga Privada cigars. And when Steve stepped down from Drew Estate in 2013, fans eagerly anticipated his return to the industry… that time has come.
Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust is the name of the new company, having an old school, Cubanesque vibe with an emphasis on authenticity, quality, and admiration for the craft—we’d expect no less. The first cigar? Sobremesa—a cigar that completely takes on the look of a pre-embargo cigar presentation. With Sobremesa, Steve has spared no expense in crafting a truly sophisticated blend—in fact, it’s the motto of his new company - “Puros Sin Compromiso,” translating to “Cigars Without Compromise.”
Sobremesa debuts in 6 sizes (with more to follow), all which have been carefully blended to provide their own unique differences to best showcase the vitola. The cigars are rolled at Joya de Nicaragua in Estelí, the oldest Nicaraguan factory. Steve has selected a diverse blend of some of the most premium tobaccos available, experimenting with over 40 blends before discovering the final product. The final blend features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Mexican binder, and a complex filler blend of 4 Nicaraguan leafs and an American Broadleaf Ligero.
This is a truly refined and sophisticated blend worthy of any cigar enthusiast's humidor. But act fast, as supplies have been limited due to the demanding qualities of the premium tobaccos used. Only 1,000 boxes are being produced per month, and will not last long on our shelves!
Michael Lanier - Sobremesa Short Churchill
This is my favorite size in the line, just a delicious stick. Perfect size for those cold Winters outside.

Daniel Newman - Sobremesa Short Churchill - 5 Pack (Verified buyer)
This little guy is my go-to snack cigar. The size is perfect for a relaxing break at lunch and has the signature smoothness of the Sobremesa with nutty undertones. If your looking for something that will not be overpowering but provide enough enjoyable flavor to send you into your happy place .. this is the one.

Timothy Beinecke - Sobremesa Short Churchill - 5 Pack
The Sobremesa short Churchill is a personal favorite of mine. The construction is almost always perfect and the flavors from this cigar are fantastic. Each of the sobremesa blends are blended specifically to their vitola / size format. The flavors of dark Cocoa, marshmallows, and white pepper make these a solid choice every single time!

I just luv this blend. When I can't get my favorite size, the short Churchil, this size is my back up QB. Just a rich and full flavored cigar with just enough pepper on the retro hale. You'll thank me later

A great cigar by Steve Saka, the original Sobremesa packs more punch than the Brulee, but still a great smoke.

Bobby Jones - Sobremesa Robusto Largo
Even though you might hear more about the brulee nowadays, this was Steve Saka's first cigar release under DTT, and hit hit the ground running with it. If you like a medium plus cigar that starts out with a creamy sweetness and develops into baking spice and cocoa, then this is a stick for you. Good robust flavors without the pepper

Kevin Shahan - Sobremesa El Americano (Verified buyer)
This was my (Cigar prop) #1 cigar of 2021 for a reason.
There was no cigar I smoked more of than this cigar.
I wish I was a good cigar reviewer so I could tell you all the flavor notes that I get from this cigar, but it wouldn't make a difference, you would get something completely different.
If you are only going to buy one cigar from Dunbarton Tobacco and
Trust, buy this one. And don't buy just one, buy a whole box, you won't be able to smoke just one. Trust me.
