DTT STFU!!! Sampler Live Steam!
In-case you hadn’t heard, when Saka released the Sobremesa Brûlée, a hearty portion of controversy accompanied it onto retailers’ shelves!
The eternal debate: is it sweet-tipped, or is it not?
In his ever-so-witty fashion, Steve Saka followed up consumers’ quest to discover the truth with an epic, blind sampler: enter STFU!!!
I am tired of telling people that Sobremesa Brûlée is NOT sweet tipped, many agree, but others do not believe me. So how do I prove a negative? Simple, I let you taste, compare, contrast and decide for yourself. Included [in the sampler] are 5 identical cigars of the Brûlée blend with the only difference being there are 3 versions included: Unadulterated aka normal Brûlée, sweet tipped and double sweet tipped. But here is the catch: I am not going to tell you which is which until September 15th, 2020 via Facebook live on our DTT page. So smoke ’em, debate about it and decide for u’rself!
Steve Saka – Dunbarton Tobacco & TrustSo what are we doing about it? Each day next week, Patrick and I will sit down, smoke one of the sampler cigars, and debate which is which! Tune in on YouTube, or in the embedded video below!

Ezra Zion – Cleaver
CLEAVER Special Edition Ltd. is a full-bodied, full-strength box-pressed toro. The wrapper is a gorgeous Corojo 99 leaf (just look at that pic!). Fillers are medio tiempo ligeros from Nicaragua…and some secret places…all aged between 9-12 years!
First light is a huge wave of flavor! Milk chocolate, tanned leather and sweet tea rush across the palate. Immediately following are espresso bean and clove. The finish adds notes of red oak wood and vanilla. The retrohale is warming with a cinnamon burn.
As it progresses, big blasts of caramel and black peppercorn emerge. Buttercream appears on the finish along with hints of all-spice and nutmeg.
Halfway, the aged of the tobacco begins to shine through! Custard, white chocolate, and almond begin to dominate. Hints of whiskey barrel, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. The flavors layer on top of each other so perfectly–that you’ll be smacking your lips after every puff!
The last third, things get intense! Huge notes of dark chocolate, dark stout beer, and jalapeño emerge. The brown sugar sweetness grows. The finish is long adding cashew, red oak wood, and licorice. The burn is perfect and cigar stays cool all the way to the nub of the nub!
CLEAVER Special Edition Ltd. is an absolutely phenomenal cigar! Period. I’m not even gonna beat around the bush. The precision balance and complexity of flavors are almost indescribable!“
