The Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Maduro Robusto hits your hand like a hefty ingot - 5 inches long with an audacious 70 ring gauge that's become the new normal for modern cigar chasers. Priced at $87.95 for 16 sticks in a box, this Nicaraguan puro screams "Sunday afternoon fuel" with its espresso-dark wrapper slicked with natural oils.
The oily maduro wrapper gives cold draw flavors of damp earth and baker's chocolate. There's faint raisin sweetness hiding behind that initial punch.
Black pepper and espresso blast through immediately, settling into charred oak and roasted cashews. Thick smoke output - hold your exhales to catch cinnamon undertones.
Sweetness emerges through caramelized sugar notes. Watch for mineral tang on the retrohale that keeps it from becoming cloying.
Leather and dark cocoa dominate while keeping combustion cool. Slight nicotine kick at the nub - pair with espresso or root beer.
Jalapa valley wrapper leaves contribute caramelized notes through volcanic soil stress. Binder from Estelí amps up pepper spice while Condega fillers lay down the cedar base. Barrel fermentation in oak casks deepens sweetness - no added sugars here.
