Steve Saka is the founder of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust and a former CEO of Drew Estate whose exacting standards helped develop Liga Privada and other cult traditional lines before he launched Dunbarton. After leaving Drew Estate, Saka launched Dunbarton with a contemplative, quality-first philosophy embodied in brands such as Sobremesa, Mi Querida, Sin Compromiso, and Muestra de Saka—primarily produced at Joya de Nicaragua.
Saka's background in marketing and his refusal to compromise on construction or blend balance have resulted in cigars that feel both traditional and modern. The name "Sobremesa"—Spanish for the relaxed conversation after a meal—captures his approach: unhurried, nuanced, and built for smokers who appreciate complexity over hype. Saka remains one of the most anticipated and highly rated blenders working in Nicaragua today.
