Perdomo is a high-class cigar company with incredible attention to detail. Known for using some of the finest aged tobaccos, they focus on quality in every step.
Its cigar making is based in Nicaragua where a series of beautiful farms grow immaculate leaf, each of which is put through a stringent production process according to the exacting demands of Nick Perdomo, the company’s founder.
Started a mere 30 or so years ago, Perdomo has grown into one of the big three cigar makers in the US – and once you’ve tasted the cigars, you’ll know why.
Here’s the lowdown on some of the company’s most popular and flavorful sticks, according to you, our customers.
1. Perdomo Fresco Churchill Connecticut
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Churchill
Size: 7 x 50
Strength: Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Colorado
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Connecticut Shade
Fresco means fresh – and while these little bundled beauties may be fresh off the roller’s bench, you can rest assured that they will taste of the same carefully cured and aged tobacco as the rest of the house’s revered blends.
With the Perdomo Fresco Churchill Connecticut, you’re getting a premium cigar at bundle prices here. So make the most of it and treat yourself to some cedary, spiced, creamy medium-bodied goodness.
2. Perdomo Fresco Churchill Maduro
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Churchill
Size: 7 x 50
Strength: Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Maduro
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Nicaraguan Maduro
The same blend as above, but the Perdomo Fresco Churchill Maduro delivers a different experience. The addition of this Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper from the fields of Jalapa gives an edge to this bargain, well-made cigar.
Don’t let the wrapper color fool you, though. This remains a medium to full-bodied cigar full of spice and dark chocolate. You just get to choose which one you prefer.
3. Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro Epicure
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Toro
Size: 6 x 54
Strength: Medium - Full
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Maduro
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Nicaraguan Maduro
A fat, dark maduro, the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro Epicure remains a favorite for many, 20 years on.
This cigar is packed with rich flavors, offering delicious notes of cocoa, pepper, espresso, roasted nuts, and a touch of cream.
The Nicaraguan maduro leaf which shrouds this cigar is treated to an extra 14 months’ secondary fermentation in old Bourbon barrels.
It’s hard to pin down exactly what this does to the blend; perhaps marry the flavors more sweetly and bring a little more smoothness to an already rounded finish?
See for yourself; you won't be disappointed.
4. Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Epicure
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Toro
Size: 6 x 54
Strength: Mild - Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Colorado Claro
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Connecticut Shade
The Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Epicure is an absolute scene-stealer of a cigar.
You might think Connecticut wrappers lack flavor. Try again.
Stronger than it may at first appear ‘under the hood,’ the Champagne, housed as it is in that glorious golden, eye-catching cellophane, has become an instant classic and one of America’s best-selling cigars.
While it packs its punch in nicotine, it still tastes benign and smooth, so well blended are the Nicaraguan tobaccos. And that wrapper is so well aged, it brings a whole new level of sophistication to the Connecticut argument.
5. Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Churchill
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Churchill
Size: 7 x 56
Strength: Medium - Full
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Maduro
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Nicaraguan Maduro
The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Churchill is semi box pressed, with a ton of flavor and complexity.
It's flawlessly constructed and examined no less than 19 times before being approved to leave the factory. This is a cigar and a half.
Perdomo’s own spectacular leaf is aged for an enormous six years and then subjected to further loveliness by sleeping in ex-Bourbon barrels for another 14 months. Bring on the sweet flavors, which meld perfectly with those trapped inside the Nicaraguan leaf.
The result is a smooth cigar with rich layers of flavor, featuring notes of cocoa, coffee, earthy tones, and a hint of spice.
6. Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel Aged Sun Grown
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Toro
Size: 6 x 54
Strength: Medium - Full
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Colorado
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Nicaraguan Sun Grown
Ding dong, another flavor-packed Perdomo cigar!
The long hours of Nicaraguan sunshine (average 12 hours a day!), plentiful clean water, painstaking management, and perfect curing and aging is presented to you in a remarkably smooth, tasty package.
With the Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel Aged Sun Grown, you'll experience a robust smoke, layered with earthy flavors and a subtle kick of spice.
This is one for the connoisseur to appreciate truly.
7. Perdomo Lot 23 Sun Grown Churchill
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Shape: Churchill
Size: 7 x 50
Strength: Medium
Grade: Hand Rolled / Long Filler
Color: Colorado
Binder/Filler: Nicaragua / Nicaragua
Wrapper Type: Nicaraguan Sun Grown
Like wine made from a single Terroir, Lot 23 is a line made from tobacco from a single plot of land on one of the Perdomo farms in Nicaragua.
Thanks to its unique location near water, rich topography, and history of producing exceptional tobacco, these leaves are reserved each year to create an exclusive cigar line. The Perdomo Lot 23 Sun Grown Churchill is simply too good to blend with anything else.
The result brings a delightful sweet-and-sour balance to your palate, offering a rich, nutty flavor with hints of cedar and a touch of spice on the finish—all at a great price.
