Sobremesa Solita represents the pinnacle of cigar craftsmanship from Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, created by industry legend Steve Saka. This medium to full-bodied cigar offers a lush, complex smoking experience that has captivated aficionados since its debut.
Exquisite Construction & Blend
Each Sobremesa Solita is meticulously handcrafted in Nicaragua at the Joya de Nicaragua factory, featuring a carefully curated blend of premium tobaccos:
- Wrapper: Dark Rosado Ecuadorian Habano Grade 1
- Binder: Mexican San Andrés Negro
- Filler: A sophisticated blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Ligero
A Symphony of Flavors
The Sobremesa Solita delivers a rich tapestry of flavors that evolves throughout the smoking experience. Expect notes of Dutch-pressed cocoa, cedar, creamy coffee, and dark cocoa complemented by hints of Indian Ceylon cinnamon and anise. The experience culminates in a sweet clover honey finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
The Sobremesa Experience
“Sobremesa” refers to the leisurely time spent at the table after dining but before rising – a cultural tradition of lingering with family and friends in conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking, and enjoying each other’s company. This cigar embodies that spirit of refined relaxation and celebration.
Limited Edition Sobremesa Solita Red
For those seeking an elevated experience, the Sobremesa Solita Red represents a special, limited production. Released in February 2025, this Grand Corona (6 1/4 x 46) is crafted a touch stronger than the original Solita blend and aged for a full year, resulting in a more robust profile while maintaining the distinctive Sobremesa character.
A Cigar Without Compromise
Created with the mindset of “Puro sin compromiso” (a cigar without compromise), Sobremesa Solita will be continuously crafted. However, production is dictated by the tobaccos themselves, limiting availability through select purveyors. This commitment to quality over quantity ensures each Sobremesa Solita delivers an exceptional smoking experience worthy of the most discerning cigar enthusiast.

The Short Churchill is full of flavor, extremely well balanced and has excellent Dunbarton construction. When I say excellent Dunbarton construction, I mean that it passes the Steve Saka gas station test. The tasting note profile is cocoa, earth, creamy almonds and vanilla sweetness throughout it.

I love dunbarton. Prefer heavier tobacco and medium spiciness. This one did not disappoint. Great construction was to be expected and it delivered. Cool packaging too. This size hits perfect for me. 30-45 minutes with my long heavy draw. Did not have issues with overheating which can happen on smaller sizes. Flavor was steady through first two thirds Developed some unexpected creaminess in final third. Burn and draw were impeccable. Also picked up some intensity as it went on going from medium to medium full. Love this brand and this blend.

I personally prefer the Brulee version of the Sobremesa more.

Medium body with a great burn. One flavor is at the forefront the entire experience, and that is Root Beer. Luckily I love root beer so I enjoyed this smoke. Dunbarton never misses, but I prefer the mi querida regular line.

Despite what the raving reviews may say, I didn’t think this cigar was worth it. Perhaps priced at half the cost.
I’ve enjoyed Dunbarton cigars, and am I fan of Steve Saka’s work. I just dont agree with this one. The taste was never there, very simple. Nothing special or unique about this cigar. The construction was excellent as is the way with Dunbarton and Trust, but I didn’t enjoy much else.
