This Nicaraguan puro features a 7" x 56 Churchill format with bourbon barrel-aged maduro wrapper. The dark Connecticut leaf shines like obsidian glass with visible oil spots and tight triple cap construction. At $10.80/stick, it delivers serious value compared to other barrel-aged cigars.
Cold draw brings molasses sweetness through tightly packed filler. First light erupts with black pepper that settles into espresso grounds and roasted almonds within 1". The bourbon-cured tobacco leaves a caramelized sugar aftertaste that pairs brilliantly with coffee.
Volcanic soil minerals emerge alongside dark chocolate notes. Smoke density thickens noticeably - more Maduro-like than other Perdomo lines. Watch for uneven burn if rushed, though the triple-layered ash holds firm past 2".
Nicaraguan ligero kicks in with leather and cured meat intensity. Despite 56 ring gauge, the draw stays open without tar buildup. Savory umami character dominates the last inch, though nicotine-sensitive smokers might stop at 6".
Grown in Nicaragua's Jalapa Valley volcanic soil, the wrapper undergoes 14-month bourbon barrel curing in Miami humidity. Perdomo's "entubado" rolling technique creates that signature open draw - critical for thick ring gauges. Each box contains 24 robustos with 2020-2023 production dates showing consistent construction quality.
