In 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust introduced a blend style that few thought would ever become a part of the company's maduro-heavy portfolio: a Connecticut Shade-style cigar. Differing from the industry trend of all-things new, company owner, Steve Saka, reversed course, blending the Sobremesa Brûlée after the mild-mannered Connecticuts he first enjoyed throughout the '80s and '90s. But Saka wasn't finished yet, as he had stowed away a special variation of the blend to be released at a future time... and that time is NOW!
Introducing the Sobremesa Brûlée Blue, a refined rendition of the already sophisticated Sobremesa Brûlée blend. For Sobremesa Brûlée Blue, the cigars have been crafted to resemble the characteristics of one of Saka's all-time favorite smoking experiences—a Cuban-made Davidoff Dom Perignon circa the mid-1980s. Arriving in Saka's hands with over a decade's age, he describes them as "so smooth, so subtle yet complex, creamy, sweetness, touches of cafe and almond butter."
Setting out to recreate the desired level of complexity, Saka had the Brûlée blend rolled in a 6¼" x 46 format. This includes the use of all-Nicaraguan fillers, a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder, and a high-grade Ecuador Connecticut Shade "G2BW" wrapper. This concoction was tweaked again and again, slowly homing in on the elusive profile Saka desired. And when achieved, Saka went the extra mile by setting the Sobremesa Brûlée Blue aside for one full year, with only 1,000 boxes making their way to consumers for the cigar's debut. Mild to medium in body, the Sobremesa Brûlée Blue offers the quintessence of nuance and refinement, delivering exceptional characteristics of browned butter, creamy nuts, sage, vanilla bean, and layers upon layers of sweet cream.

A solid choice for a lighter smoke. I thought it was a nice creamy cigar. It went well with my morning coffee.

Man oh man did Steve Saka do a home run with this one. A fantastic sweet twist on the brulee line. Great for a cool morning smoke sitting on your front or back porch sipping some delicious coffee. That wrapper makes is so smooth and creamy but yet it’s still has most of the strength from the original Brulee line. Still have yet to have a any issues while smoking them. Overall great smoke.

I am usually not a fan of sweet caps, but this cigar made a believer out of me. Pairing this with my morning black coffee, the sweetness of the initial draw makes for a great start. It eventually mellows out and I find it to have a sweet, smooth, creamy flavor. I find myself taking more puffs on this smoke as it is so smooth and enjoyable and tend to smoke it fast. I would recommend adding a box to your collection and enjoying your time with this one as it will not disappoint.

Brulee Blue is such a creamy smoking cigar that it's like taking a bite of your most favorite moist cake. From the first light you just sit back and know you're experiencing a phenomenal cigar. Creamy, nutty, very smooth cigar. Highly recommended

Just when you thought the Brûlée couldn’t get better Steve does this! What a great smoke. Little more flavor and spice than the original imo, just wish I could afford to smoke this everyday.

Jazz Hands!!! The brulee was my favorite Connecticut of all time until I tried this masterpiece. This stick is my favorite size and this is another Saka cigar that I purchase by the box when I can find them. Do not and I repeat do not sleep on this cigar. It is one of the best cigars on the planet!!!

This is one of my favorite smokes by far. Smooth and creamy, but with a little bite and flavors that keep you coming back. This is not another boring Connecticut that lacks depth and turns sour. This is always a #1. Don't sleep on this when available!

This a sweet solid smoke. It is a perfect cigar for the morning with a coffee. The sweet creamy flavors mix so well with a lighter intensity smoke. The burn and draw are prefect these smokes. Well worth the money

Saka says not a sweet tip, however you can't deny a sugary sweetness in the cap. Lots of flavorful cool smoke and great construction makes this a great morning smoke.

Saka hit it out of the park with the first Brulee, and the blue is arguably an upgrade to an already perfect blend- adding complexity and a subtle spice to create an experience rarely found in a Connecticut shade

What's better than sleeping in on a Sunday? How about waking up to a coffee and a brûlée blue! With a beautifully embossed band like that you can surely expect a top notch smoke. Again, Saka knocks it out of the park with his blending abilities. Not only is this cigar an exceptional product its also pretty to look at!

I couldn’t review the box. So here it is on the 5 pack. I mean does it really need any review besides just saying it’s Brulee Blue! Lol. It’s such a great morning cigar with a black cup of coffee. Nothing better.

The Brulee Blue is one of my favorite's from DTT, it's sweet - sweet taste when it first hits your buds - really was a moment to remember. So mild and savory, yet full of surprises! I would 100/10 recommend putting this treat in your regular roster.
For the record.... The tips are not sweetened, yet sweetened all at the same time.

Not only is this one of the best cigars from Saka but it's possibly the best CT shade on the market for me. Few cigars are as subtle, restrained, nuanced, and flavorful at the same time. Consistently one of my favorite go-to cigars.
