This torpedo-shaped gem from Perdomo packs a 6½"×54 figurado format in boxes of 24, retailing at $216. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper undergoes unique bourbon barrel-aging for 8 extra months, hugging Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves that all boast minimum 6 years of aging. Perfect for those who want approachable smoothness with a whiskey twist.
Cold Draw: Sweet hay with faint bourbon vanilla
Creamy cashew butter dominates, accompanied by baking spices and honey-glazed cedar. The barrel treatment shows through as vanilla extract rather than alcohol heat. Smoke output stays moderate but aromatic.
Transitions to roasted coffee beans and white pepper, with developing leather undertones. Retrohale reveals toasted marshmallow sweetness. Burn line stays sharp despite the tapered head.
Mineral-driven finish with black tea tannins and cinnamon stick. Some smokers report slight saltiness at the nub - characteristic of Perdomo's Nicaraguan core. Strength never crosses medium threshold.
