Dunbarton, NH \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Dunbarton Tobacco\n& Trust\u00c2\u00ae will be debuting the\nSobremesa Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e\u00c2\u00ae blend of fine\nhandmade cigars at this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 87th Annual\nConvention of the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association\nin Las Vegas, Nevada, June 28th through\nJuly 2nd, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sobremesa Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e is a recreation\nof the milder, shade wrapped ligas of my early years. Somewhere over the last\nthree decades many of the classic shade cigars have become wispy, uninspiring\nand rather dull to my palate. I wanted to share with others the way I remember\nthese blonde cigars being,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d states Master Blender Steve Saka. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Also as ligador\nand tobacco man, I do not understand the recent trend of making strong\nConnecticut Shade cigars aka \u00e2\u20ac\u0153not your grandfather\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cigar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. To me this seems\nlike an oxymoron and a fundamental lack of appreciation of the enchanting\ncharacteristics and nuances of shade grown Connecticut Seed tobaccos. In\nBr\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e, I embraced this shade capa and dedicated myself to showcasing its mild,\nsweet and nutty nature.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continues to add, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e\nis a variation of the core Sobremesa\u00c2\u00ae liga in\nwhich the Pennsylvania Seedleaf ligero has been removed, the Condega Seco has\nbeen increased and the wrapper is replaced with a top shelf grade of BW Ecuador\nConnecticut Shade leaf. The result is a milder, even smoother adaptation of the\nSobremesa blend that does not sacrifice its wonderfully complex flavors or\naromas. This is not a cigar to be smoked casually, but rather a relaxing\nsmoking experience meant to be savored slowly.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sobremesa Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e will be offered to Select Purveyors and it will be available in three vitolas: Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e Robusto \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 5.25 x 52, Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e Toro \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 6.00 x 52 and the Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e Gordo 6.25 x 60.

Sobremesa, “over the table”, has no precise English translation, perhaps because there is no cultural equivalent in the US. It is an idiom used among the Latin culture to describe the leisurely time spent tableside after you have finished dining, but before you rise. It is the experience of lingering casually with family and friends in conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking, and enjoying each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s company. Sobremesa is one of life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The Br\u00c3\u00bbl\u00c3\u00a9e is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga in which the Pennsylvania Seedleaf ligero has been removed, the Condega Seco has been increased and the Capa is now a top shelf grade of Ecuador Connecticut Shade. The result is a milder, even smoother adaptation of the Sobremesa blend that continues to retain its wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
