Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigar Blends

Sobremesa Solita

Sobremesa was the first cigar family released by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. Sobremesa Solita uses an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper over a Mexican binder with Nicaraguan tobaccos and Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero in the filler. Handmade at Joya de Nicaragua, the blend sits in the medium-to-full range and is represented at Cigars N Cigars in Robusto, Toro, Short Churchill, Churchill en Cendros, Torpedo, and other formats.

Sobremesa Brûlée

Sobremesa Brûlée provides a substantially different interpretation of the Sobremesa concept. It uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Mexican binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The blend is positioned in the mild-to-medium range and provides the Connecticut-wrapped alternative to the darker Sobremesa Solita.

Sobremesa Solita vs. Sobremesa Brûlée

Solita and Brûlée share the Sobremesa name but are distinctly different blends. Solita uses Ecuadorian Habano Rosado and Pennsylvania Broadleaf within a medium-to-full composition, while Brûlée uses Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade and moves toward mild-to-medium strength. Wrapper and strength provide the clearest starting points when comparing the two.

Dunbarton Red Meat Lovers

Red Meat Lovers is a fuller Dunbarton collection developed around dark wrapper tobacco and a blend intended to hold its character alongside richly flavored foods. Current Cigars N Cigars selections include Beef Stick and Fritanga, using Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper tobacco with Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan and additional filler tobaccos.

Mi Querida

Mi Querida is one of the established core Dunbarton cigar families and an important part of Steve Saka's work with Connecticut Broadleaf. The collection has expanded beyond the original Mi Querida into separate expressions including Mi Querida Triqui Traca and Mi Querida Black. These remain individual blends within the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust portfolio rather than separate manufacturers.

Sin Compromiso

Sin Compromiso represents one of Dunbarton's more specialized blends. It combines Cultivo Tonto San Andrés Negro wrapper with Ecuadorian Habano binder and independently grown Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Individual cigars are soft pressed, sleeved in Spanish cedar, and produced across several Parejo and Torpedo formats.

Muestra de Saka

Muestra de Saka serves as a vehicle for individual Steve Saka cigar projects rather than one uniform blend. Different releases use their own tobacco compositions and vitolas, allowing Saka to develop cigars outside the fixed specifications of the core Dunbarton collections.

Umbagog, Todos Las Dias and StillWell Star

The broader Dunbarton portfolio extends across additional tobacco styles and constructions. Umbagog emphasizes Connecticut Broadleaf in a more value-oriented format, Todos Las Dias provides another Nicaraguan-focused expression, and StillWell Star incorporates premium pipe tobaccos into handmade cigar blends. Each should be compared by its individual tobacco specifications rather than by the Dunbarton name alone.

Where Are Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigars Made?

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust uses multiple production partners rather than one exclusive factory. Sobremesa Solita and Sobremesa Brûlée are handmade at Joya de Nicaragua in Estelí, while other Dunbarton projects are produced at different Nicaraguan factories according to the requirements of the individual blend. Factory should therefore be verified at the cigar-line level.

Who Is Steve Saka?

Steve Saka is the founder and principal cigar blender behind Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. His approach emphasizes detailed tobacco selection and blend-specific construction rather than applying one house style across the portfolio. Sobremesa was DTT's first cigar release, followed by a growing collection of distinct blends including Mi Querida, Sin Compromiso, Muestra de Saka, Umbagog, and Red Meat Lovers.

Choosing a Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Cigar

Start with the individual blend rather than strength alone. Sobremesa Brûlée provides the Connecticut Shade option, Sobremesa Solita combines Ecuadorian Habano Rosado with a more substantial interior blend, and Red Meat Lovers moves toward darker Broadleaf tobacco. Mi Querida, Sin Compromiso, Muestra de Saka, and the other Dunbarton collections provide additional choices based on wrapper, construction, and tobacco composition.
