The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Sun Grown Figurado delivers a medium-full Nicaraguan punch in an unconventional box-pressed figurado format. Measuring 4¾" with a 56 ring gauge, this chunky torpedo-shaped cigar packs aged tobacco and construction precision that belies its $7-per-stick price tag. Perfect for those seeking complexity beyond typical parejo shapes.
The tapered foot lights up with cedar shavings and roasted cashews. Creamy smoke carries white pepper on retrohale – enough to tingle nostrils without burning. Draw remains effortless despite the figurado's tapered end.
At the bulge point, baking spices (cinnamon/nutmeg) join the party. Buttered popcorn notes emerge – likely from that secret "Champagne" barrel treatment. Ash holds strong for 1½+ inches. Watch the burn line as wrapper thickness varies.
Leather and black coffee flavors dominate near the nub. Nicotine strength creeps up to full-bodied territory. Retrohale reveals faint dried fruit sweetness. Purge once at ¾" mark to combat tar buildup in tapered head.
The box-press enhances combustion in thick 56RG format. Triple-seam cap withstands multiple cuts. Wrapper's golden-brown hue darkens evenly – no blotchy combustion. Let rest 60+ days post-shipment to counter Perdomo's signature "fresh-from-factory" moisture.
