At the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust (DTT) will formally release the Red Meat Lovers Fritanga.
DTT Master Ligador Steve Saka is well known for taking existing core lines and developing bolder offshoot blends. The Fritanga is described a bolder, spicier version of the Red Meat Lovers blend. It still consists of a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, San Andres binder, and USA and Nicaraguan fillers. The difference is that the Fritanga has more ligero in the blend. Fritanga comes in one size – a 6 x 52 box-pressed Prensado packaged in ten-count boxes. Production comes out of the NACSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Fritanga is also a regular production offering.
A fritanga is a type of Nicaraguan restaurant that specializes in fried food. The Fritanga cigar had a soft launch in March 2025, at a dinner as part of Smoke Inn’s The Great Smoke event.
The 2025 PCA Trade Show opens April 12, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
