The Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Connecticut Salomon stuns with its 6.5"x54 figurado shape wrapped in golden Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf. Priced at $96/box of 24, this Nicaraguan puro showcases over a decade of aging - 10 years in bales plus 2 years in bourbon barrels. Its mild-medium profile delivers creaminess that defies typical Connecticut expectations.
Buttery smoke carries roasted almond notes with white pepper sparkles. The tapered foot lights easily, producing dense white ash. Draw resistance sits at 6/10 - enough tension for slow burning without laboring.
Honey sweetness emerges alongside cashew undertones. Retrohale reveals baking spices and faint oatmeal cookies. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite figurado shape's challenges.
Leather tones surface with charred oak accents. Strength creeps to medium without bitterness. Last inch maintains structural integrity - no wrapper unraveling common in complex vitolas.
Grown in Nicaragua's Estelí volcanic soils (elevation 3,280ft), the tobaccos undergo Perdomo's signature dual aging: 10 years in bales followed by 2 years in charred white oak barrels. The Connecticut wrapper actually grows in Ecuador from US-seed stock, developing thinner veins under shade.
