The Sobremesa Brûlée story
Sobremesa, “over the table”, has no precise English translation, perhaps because there is no cultural equivalent in the US. It is an idiom used among the Latin culture to describe the leisurely time spent tableside after you have finished dining, but before you rise. It is the experience of lingering casually with family and friends in conversation, relaxing, drinking, smoking, and enjoying each other’s company. Sobremesa is one of life’s simplest, yet greatest pleasures.
The Brûlée is a variation of the core Sobremesa liga in which the Pennsylvania Seedleaf ligero has been removed, the Condega Seco has been increased and the Capa is now a top shelf grade of Ecuador Connecticut Shade. The result is a milder, even smoother adaptation of the Sobremesa blend that continues to retain its wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
The Sobremesa Brûlée Blue is a special limited production of our Brûlée liga that is crafted a touch stronger and then aged a full year.
CigarShare users' verdict
The Sobremesa Brûlée delivers a straightforward profile anchored by nutty and peppery notes with occasional hints of cereal and sugar that provide mild sweetness. Construction is generally reliable with consistent, even burns, though the draw can occasionally feel a touch snug.
- Tasting Notes
- A creamy liga with softer flavors of cedar, caramel and café, which are complimented by its inherent sweetness being allowed to blossom on the palate and nose – a nuttiness is also apparent within this blend.
