Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Tapa Negra

The Sobremesa Tapa Negra is made with the same blend as Dunbarton’s regular Sobremesa Brûlée line, meaning it uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade G2BW wrapper covering a Mexican Matacapan negro de temporal binder, and Nicaraguan fillers: Condega C-SG, Pueblo Nuevo criollo, La Joya Estelí C-98 and ASP Estelí hybrid ligero. However, the top of the cigar—the cap and about an inch or so more—features a Nicaraguan sun-grown wrapper. There will be two different vitolas when the line debuts: Sobremesa Tapa Negra Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 48) (Box of 13) Sobremesa Tapa Negra Toro (6 x 52) (Box of 13) The cigars are being made at Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. “This is a technique I first became exposed to when I worked with Lew Rothman in the late 90’s with a brand called La Especion,” said Steve Saka, founder of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, In a post made publicly “I then shared the idea with my factory partners at Joya de Nicaragua and they created their Cabinetta line. What I love about this technique is how it affects the smoking experience – the cigar’s smoke remains creamy and smooth, but the spicy Nicaraguan Sun-Grown capa being in contact with your palate adds great pepper notes, but allows the cigar to remain a very relaxing mild smoking experience.” Copy By: Halfwheel.com - 'The #1 source for industry content, news and review'
