The Perdomo Fresco Sun Grown Torpedo hits like a Nicaraguan flavor bomb in torpedo packaging. This 6½" x54 figurado comes in bundles of 25 sticks at under $5 per cigar - steal alert! That sun-grown wrapper's got more oils than a freshly waxed Harley, wrapped around pure Cuban-seed tobaccos from Perdomo's own farms. Perfect for when you want big ring gauge satisfaction without babysitting your humidor.
Pre-light sniff gives damp earth and roasted peanut vibes. Cold draw's tighter than a new pair of boots - punch cut recommended. First puffs kick off with white pepper sting that'll wake up your tastebuds better than morning espresso.
Initial burn spits cedar shavings and Brazil nut flavors. Smoke output's decent - not a chimney but enough for decent rings. Ash holds firm for about an inch before dropping. Watch that canoeing though, needs occasional touch-ups.
Heart of the stick brings leather and charred steak crust notes. Retrohale punches with black pepper that'll clear your sinuses. Body shifts from medium to full here - nic kick starts creeping up around the band point.
Last third goes full Nicaraguan barnyard - wet earth and mineral twang dominate. Tar builds up faster than L.A. traffic post-punch cut. Most smokers tap out with about 1½" left unless they're gluttons for punishment.
Rolled in Perdomo's Estelí factory where they process tobacco like clockwork. The sun-grown wrapper gets its caramel hue from Ecuadorian sunbaking - think tobacco tanning bed. Those Jalapa valley fillers spend more time aging than a classic rock reunion tour before hitting the rolling table.
