Dunbarton Sobremesa Tapa Negra Toro (6×52)

Summary

Steve Saka first encountered this technique decades ago working with Lew Rothman on a brand called La Especion, and he has been waiting for the right moment to bring it back ever since. The idea is simple to explain and genuinely tricky to execute: build a cigar with two different wrapper leaves on the same stick. The body of this 6x52 Toro wears the same Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade G2BW wrapper that defines the Sobremesa Brûlée line, but the cap and the first inch or so are finished in a Nicaraguan Sun Grown leaf instead. The result is a cigar that smokes mild and creamy for most of its length, the way Brûlée always has, but delivers a noticeably spicier, more peppery hit right where your lips meet the cigar.

Saka calls it a technique that keeps the smoke relaxing while still giving your palate something to react to. Underneath both wrappers sits the same Mexican Matacapan negro binder and four-component Nicaraguan filler blend that built the original Sobremesa's reputation. Rolled at Joya de Nicaragua in Estelí, packaged thirteen to a box. A brand new way to experience a blend Cigars Daily Nation already knows and trusts.
