I’m really excited to bring in a cigar that hits hard on both flavor and story—Dunbarton Red Meat Lovers Fritanga has landed. From the mind of Steve Saka and the blending room at Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Fritanga isn’t just the latest in a successful line—it’s a deeper, bolder expression that’s been years in the making. It was built to capture those savory, spicy, sweet notes in a hearty and well-rounded smoke. This might be the most anticipated Saka cigar from the PCA trade show!
The Red Meat Lovers series first launched back in 2019, a collaboration between Smoke Inn, Dunbarton Cigars, and the Red Meat Lovers Club—an organization known for their over-the-top beef feasts and good causes. The idea was to craft a cigar that could hold its own next to a perfectly grilled steak or smoked brisket. Enter Fritanga, a 6×52 box-pressed toro named after the Nicaraguan street food style of open-flame grilled meats. Saka calls it the “spicier and beefier” version of the blend—and he’s not kidding.
From the first few draws, you’re greeted with a satisfying hit of black pepper and savory depth. The flavors evolve into leather, raisin, and a gentle sweetness that rounds everything out. Wrapped in a dark, textured Connecticut Broadleaf, with a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania, it’s rich, earthy, and complex. The body is full, the strength leans medium-full, and the experience is unforgettable. You can practically taste the grill and the craftsmanship in every puff.
Whether you’re lighting up after dinner, pairing with bourbon, or just craving a cigar that delivers a full-on flavor experience, the Dunbarton Red Meat Lovers Fritanga is ready. Available in boxes of 10 this is one to grab while you can. If you’re a fan of Dunbarton Cigars or looking for a cigar built for meat lovers, don’t miss the Fritanga cigar. It’s bold, beefy, and built for serious cigar fans.
