Nick Perdomo's Sun Grown Connoisseur Collection packs 12 toros from three core lines into one value-driven sampler. This grab-and-go box (SRP $108) mixes four sticks each of the earthy 10th Anniversary, bourbon-barrel-aged 20th Anniversary, and ultra-aged 30th Anniversary blends. With ring gauges spanning 50-54 and lengths from 5.5" to 6", these Nicaraguan puros deliver consistent construction and that signature Perdomo sun-grown kick.
Punches in with black pepper and espresso grounds. The 20th Anniversary's bourbon-cask sweetness emerges quicker than its box-aged siblings. Draw stays loose despite the firm pack.
Cocoa powder and cashew butter smooth out the bite. Watch the burn line on 30th Anniversary sticks - their extra-fermented leaves tend to canoe if rushed.
Leather and mineral notes dominate. The 10th Anniversary blend develops a hickory smokiness perfect with peated Scotch. About 1.5" nub potential before tar buildup.
The triple-cap heads unroll cleanly. Oily wrappers show minimal veins. Box code check: 2023 production has tighter rolls than 2022's slightly spongy batches.
