Tonights Cigar moment is a Cigar i was handed in Nicaragua..
During my visit we had a steak dinner at a bar in Esteli, Nicaragua .
During the evening a surprise guest joined us!
It was the world famous Steve Saka.
Steve personally handed out a few ci**rs, and this was what it was....
Dunbarton To***co & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Blue Cigar
The Dunbarton To***co & Trust lives by a simple but powerful philosophy: “Ci**rs Without Compromise.” This phrase perfectly captures the ethos of founder Steve Saka, one of the most respected master blenders in the cigar world. After serving as CEO of Drew Estate, Saka established Dunbarton in 2015 with a vision to craft ci**rs of unmatched quality, precision, and integrity. Every cigar released under the Dunbarton name reflects a dedication to excellence, from the meticulous to***co selection to the patient blending and aging process.
The SOBREMESA BLUE.
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 others company. Sobremesa is one of life’s simplest yet greatest pleasures.
The Sobremesa Brûlée Blue is a special limited production of the Brûlée liga. The Brûlée Blue is crafted a touch stronger and then aged for a full year.

Notes...A very sweet creamy cigar, with softer flavors of cedar, salted caramel, sweetness being allowed to develop on the palate and nose –it has a distinctly almond/nutty palate.
Pairing tonight with a fine English Pale Ale 5.8% Badger -The Iron Heart.
Slight bitterness works amazingly with this sweet cigar.
As its one of Steve Saka 's own blends its quality throughout.
This was another one of the amazing experiences I encountered in Nicaragua on the TOR Tour 2026.
