This Nicaraguan puro flexes its muscle in a hefty Churchill format (7"x56), boasting a sungrown wrapper aged 12 years through Perdomo's proprietary bourbon barrel process. Priced at $243 for 24 sticks, it delivers controlled intensity with oily espresso notes. The Tampa-based rollers packed enough complexity here to keep veteran smokers intrigued through the 90-minute smoke time.
Initial pepper punch settles into roasted cashews and cinnamon bark. Thick smoke output with slightly tight draw. Ash holds 1.5" before dropping.
Caramel sweetness emerges alongside damp cedar notes. Noticeable nicotine buzz develops. Perfect burn line compensates for increasing tar buildup.
Dark chocolate bitterness dominates, accented by mineral undertones from Estelí's volcanic soil. Strength ramps up - novice smokers might bail at this point.
Blended from Jalapa Valley's sweeter leaves and Estelí's mineral-rich tobaccos. The sungrown wrappers undergo natural fermentation in open-air Nicaraguan fields before bourbon barrel aging. Hand-rolled at TABACALERA PERDOMO factory under 600m altitude conditions.
