Dunbarton Red Meat Lovers Filet Mignon

Founded by Steve Saka, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust operates under the motto "cigars without compromise." With many years of experience in the industry, Saka’s blending style is distinct and bold, never shying away from intense and direct expressions. The Red Meat Lovers was not originally a regular production line; it was a limited release created specifically for a steak charity dinner at the invitation of Florida’s "Red Meat Lovers Club."

While enjoying top-tier steaks in Nicaragua, Saka repeatedly adjusted the blend with a clear goal in mind: to create a cigar that could stand alongside heavy, meaty meals. He ultimately selected a U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, paired with a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania, with the final rolling completed at the NACSA factory in Estelí. Due to the overwhelming response, it was later added to the regular production line, with its various sizes named after cuts of steak.

The Dunbarton Red Meat Lovers Filet Mignon opens with notes of earth and dark chocolate, gradually transitioning into an interplay of espresso, black pepper, and baking spices, carrying a hint of molasses sweetness and a distinct umami quality. Its shorter size makes the flavors more concentrated; it is crafted for the post-meal experience and is truly a cigar capable of "holding a conversation" with a steak.

Dimensions and Blend

Three Acts of Flavor

First Third: The cold draw reveals notes of earth and dark chocolate. Upon lighting, the smoke is full-bodied; earth and black pepper appear first, accompanied by the warmth of cocoa and wood, providing a direct and powerful opening.

Second Third: The flavors begin to unfold. Dark chocolate becomes more prominent, followed by notes of espresso and baking spices. Subtle hints of molasses sweetness and a delicate umami finish can also be detected. The palate is rich and the smoke is dense, offering a solid and layered performance.

Final Third: The cigar maintains excellent stability into the final stretch. Earth and coffee become even more intense, with a long, lingering finish punctuated by dark chocolate and wood. The entire smoking experience is rich, satisfying, and fulfilling.
