Nicknamed "The Smooth Talker" among Connecticut shade lovers, the Perdomo Habano BBA Connecticut Gordo serves up a 6x60 stick with bourbon-kissed finesse. This Nicaraguan-made beauty combines a 6-year-aged blend wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf that's spent 8 extra months in bourbon barrels. At $232.20 per box of 24, it's positioned as an affordable luxury - less pricey than most Davidoffs but fancier than your average Macanudo.
The cold draw whispers sweet oak. Initial puffs deliver buttered toast dipped in vanilla cream, that Connecticut silkiness amplified by bourbon sugars. Watch for tiny pepper sparkles on the retrohale - just enough to remind you this isn't your grandpa's mild cigar.
Around the inch mark, Nicaraguan terroir emerges through the sweetness. Earthy walnut notes mix with baking spices, the smoke texture turning dense like whipped honey. Burn stays razor-sharp despite the 60 ring gauge, a testament to Perdomo's rolling skill.
Bagian ketiga membawa keharuman marshmallow yang terbakar dengan rasa pahit espresso yang samar. Meskipun tidak mengandung nikotin yang berat, waktu merokok selama 90 menit ini membutuhkan rasa hormat - padankan dengan kopi hitam saat rasa karamel mulai melelahkan lidah Anda.
Tutup tiga jahitan terbuka dengan bersih dengan potongan lurus. Lapisan luar yang berminyak ini mempertahankan integritas struktural bahkan dalam kelembaban 65%. Meskipun dipasarkan sebagai "mudah dihisap", pack yang ketat membutuhkan hisapan yang sengaja - bukan cerutu yang ramah bagi pemula meskipun mildnessnya.
