This Nicaraguan puro comes in a 5"x56 robusto format, packed 24 sticks per box at $221.40. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper hides a secret - every leaf's been aged 12 years through Perdomo's unique bourbon barrel process. Cold draw reveals sweet hay and almonds before lighting, a preview of its creamy complexity.
Creamy cashew butter dominates with sweet cedar undertones. White pepper tingles the nostrils during retrohale while the wrapper's vanilla oils coat the lips. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite 56 ring gauge.
Flavors shift to honey-glazed almond croissant - bready sweetness balanced by oak tannins. Smoke output increases, leaving dense clouds with lingering bakery aromas. Watch for occasional canoeing requiring touch-ups.
Leather and espresso emerge without bitterness. The last inch introduces black pepper spikes amidst persistent creaminess. Strength climbs to medium territory, nicotine settling comfortably in the chest rather than overwhelming.
