This box-pressed purito from Perdomo packs Nicaraguan punch in a 4"x38 format. Wrapped in their signature bourbon barrel-aged Maduro leaf, it's like a concentrated espresso shot for cigar lovers - perfect when you've got 40 minutes max but still want serious flavor. The dark wrapper glistens with oily sheen, hinting at the six-year aged tobaccos within.
Cold draw serves black coffee bitterness with a raisin sweetness. Initial puffs explode with baking spices - think nutmeg and allspice. The retrohale carries cedar sharpness that's more Nicaragua than Havana.
Chocolate ganache texture emerges. Cocoa powder dominates but watch for cashew undertones. Burn stays razor-sharp despite the small ring gauge.
Tar buildup starts creeping in at the 30-minute mark. Earthy notes ramp up - damp soil and molasses. Smart to nub it before the last inch unless you enjoy nicotine kick.
Grown in Esteli's volcanic soil, these leaves undergo Perdomo's "Champagne" aging process - a 120-day fermentation under oak pressure. The Maduro wrapper gets bourbon barrel treatment before final assembly in their Nicaraguan factory. Box-pressing technique compacts flavors without restricting draw.
