The Perdomo Fresco Maduro Churchill hits with its 7"x50 frame wrapped in oily Nicaraguan Maduro leaf. Sold in budget-friendly 25-count bundles at $99, this Nicaraguan puro delivers dark chocolate and coffee notes that punch way above its price range. Expect tight construction with that signature Perdomo sheen - perfect for when you want serious smoke without breaking the bank.
Cold draw serves damp earth and molasses. First light kicks with bitter cocoa powder and black coffee that mellows into sweetened espresso by the inch mark. Smoke output stays moderate but dense, clinging to the palate with oily texture.
Core flavors shift to charred oak and baking spices. Look for distinct caramel swirls around the pepper bite that develops near the band. Ash holds firm in 1.5" segments - typical Perdomo construction quality.
Nicaraguan strength surfaces through the sweet profile. Mineral notes emerge alongside walnut skins, requiring slower pacing. Nub potential depends on nicotine tolerance - stops getting interesting past the 6" mark.
Perdomo's Estelí-grown Maduro wrapper undergoes double fermentation to achieve its oily sheen and sugar development. Binder and filler tobaccos blend jalapa sweetness with condega spice, all aged in Nicaraguan heat. The result? A budget smoke that maintains core Perdomo quality standards from seed to shelf.
