Starting from one dimensional Kappa distribution for electrons, we have systematically developed the combined Kappa-Cairns distribution. We have found the effective bounds of both nonthermal parameters κ $\kappa $ and β e $\beta _{e}$ for the combined Kappa-Cairns distribution. This distribution can generate more highly energetic particles in comparison with both Kappa and Cairns distributions. We have investigated ion acoustic solitary structures in a collisionless magnetized plasma composed of negatively charged static dust grains, adiabatic warm ions and a population of highly energetic electrons generated from the combined Kappa-Cairns distribution. Sagdeev pseudo-potential technique has been considered to investigate the arbitrary amplitude steady state solitary structures including double layers and supersolitons. We have developed a computational scheme to draw the existence domains showing the nature of existence of different solitary structures. Different solitary structures of both positive and negative polarities have been observed for different values of κ $\kappa $ and β e $\beta _{e}$ . We have seen two important transitions of solitary structures for negative polarity, viz., soliton before the formation of double layer → double layer → supersoliton → soliton after the formation of double layer, and soliton before the formation of supersoliton → supersoliton → soliton. For the second case, we have a supersoliton structure without the formation of double layer and this case is completely new one for magnetized plasma. Different solitary structures supported by the system have been investigated with the help of compositional parameter spaces and the phase portraits of the dynamical systems describing different solitary structures.
