Sobremesa Brûlée Gordo – Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

The Sobremesa Brûlée Gordo is the largest gauge expression within Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust's renowned Brûlée line. Designed by Steve Saka to offer a creamy, silky, and extraordinarily balanced smoke, this Gordo format provides a cooler, slower, and more abundant smoke experience, highlighting the blend's smooth and refined character.

Crafted in Nicaragua at the Joya de Nicaragua factory, this cigar features an elegant Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Mexican Matacapan Negro binder and a filler composed of carefully aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The larger diameter of the format allows for a creamier and rounder smoke, ideal for those who enjoy smooth profiles with excellent aromatic complexity.

Flavor Profile

From the first light, the Sobremesa Brûlée Gordo unfolds notes of sweet cream, vanilla, butter, light honey, and toasted almonds, accompanied by an extremely smooth texture and dense, silky smoke. Its mild to medium strength allows each nuance to be appreciated with clarity and elegance.

As the smoke progresses, notes of fine cedar, mild coffee, toasted bread, nuts, and a delicate spicy touch emerge, adding depth without losing balance. The Gordo format promotes a slow and cool burn, offering a relaxed, complex, and very refined experience until the end.
