Let's talk about this chonky boy - the Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Robusto. This Nicaraguan puro comes in a box of 16 sticks priced around $88, packing serious girth with its 70 ring gauge and 5" length. That's a full 1.2mm thicker than standard Churchills! Despite its intimidating size, the medium-bodied smoke delivers approachable flavors wrapped in a gorgeous sungrown Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf aged five years.
The initial light reveals a surprisingly smooth draw despite the massive ring gauge. First third kicks off with dominant cedar and roasted nuts, transitioning to subtle coffee grounds around the inch mark. Burns slower than my morning traffic commute - about 85 minutes total.
The triple cap holds up beautifully despite the thick gauge. Some minor canoeing around the mid-point - nothing a quick touch-up couldn't fix. Ash holds firm in half-inch segments with salt-and-pepper coloration. Box-pressed shape provides comfortable grip for large-ring smokers.
