The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Connecticut Super Toro delivers that perfect "first cigar of the day" vibe with its 6x54 frame wrapped in golden Connecticut leaf. This box of 25 retails around $240, packing Nicaraguan soul into a Connecticut suit. The "Champagne" aging process they keep secret actually shows through in those first creamy draws.
That Connecticut wrapper shines with roasted almond and vanilla bean notes. The draw's slightly snug but rewards patience with honeyed sweetness - no harshness even on retrohales.
Nicaraguan core awakens with buttered toast and cashew brittle flavors. Watch for the sneaky white pepper kick that creeps up around the halfway point. Burn line stays razor-sharp.
Cinnamon-spiked espresso takes over while maintaining creaminess. The 54 ring gauge feels hefty here - rotates between latte foam textures and baking spice accents. Ends clean without tar buildup.
Rolled in Esteli using Jalapa Valley fillers that got 6+ years aging. The wrappers undergo Perdomo's mystery "Champagne treatment" - basically their version of barrel-aging without actual barrels. You'll taste the difference in that signature creamy nuttiness.
