The Sobremesa Brûlée Blue 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. Now, the latest chapter in the Sobremesa saga unfolds with Wagashi. Derived from a modified version of the Brulee Blue line, originally intended to be a larger vitola, Wagashi takes on a unique character. Saka's innovation led to a trunk-pressed 6"x50 Toro, expertly crafted at the Joya de Nicaragua factory. When you ignite this blend, you'll encounter a harmonious blend of flavors, including notes of almonds, coffee, caramel, and sweet cream. In Steve's own words, “The bar established by our Blue is extremely high, but I believe the Wagashi rivals it in both flavor and aroma, while also being unique with its own distinct character.” Experience the next exciting chapter in the Sobremesa story with Wagashi.
CigarShare users' verdict

The Sobremesa Brûlée Blue delivers a sophisticated blend of roasted almond and nutty sweetness with supporting notes of creamy milk chocolate, subtle coffee, and warm spice, creating a well-rounded profile with pleasant earthiness and hints of Cuban character. Construction is generally solid with a mostly cooperative burn and smooth draw, though occasional unevenness requires minor attention.

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.
