Perdomo Habano Maduro

I see people get the Perdomo Habano Connecticut cigars so I decided to look at this particular line. I saw it in a Maduro, which was full, and I wondered why that box was full.

The wrap on this cigar was even and well made. This cigar is a Nicaraguan puro, as all in this line are, but this had a Maduro shade wrapper. The filler comes from the valleys of Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. The smell was earthy with some spice. So, I decided to clip the end (it was a torpedo) and give it a go.

The flavor was very full. Very earthy yet not overwhelming. The center of this earthy flavor gives hints of black pepper and also a slight hint of leather. It was smooth. The finish was nutty with a hint of spice, which comes from the Habano tobacco and the Nicaraguan filler. The taste was potent, but never got harsh. The tastes didn't linger at all either. The flavor and finish was pretty quick, but very nice.

The burn and draw on this was very good. I have no issues with this cigar as far as construction.

This cigar is a good smoke and a nice change in flavor to the "traditional" flavors of a Maduro. The only downside was the cost. Priced at $11.25, plus tax, brings the rating down, but not by much. Still lasts at least 40 minutes and has a good flavor.

Final Grade: A-
