La Tradicion Cabinet Series

Nicholas Perdomo Jr., president of Nick's Cigar Company, is a third generation cigar-maker. His grandfather was in the business in Cuba, and his father, Nick Sr. has worked in the cigar industry in both Cuba and the United States. Nick Jr. was born in the United States shortly after his family fled from Cuba after the revolution in 1961. Nick Sr. worked for numerous cigar companies and in other industries until the early 1970s when the family moved to Miami and Nick Sr. returned to the cigar industry full time. Originally all of Nick’s cigars were made in Florida, but due to the high labor cost, most of the cigar rolling is now done in their own family run factory in Nicaragua under the watchful eye of Nick's father, Senor Perdomo. The red Rosado wrappers featured in the La Tradicion line, which Perdomo reports some consumers find reminiscent of cigars produced in Cuba decades ago, are harvested from very near the tops of tobacco plants grown in Ecuador. These are leaves which get more sun and which contain a relatively high content of sugar and starch, thus imparting an oily sheen to he surface of the cigar and a flavorful, even born to the smoking experience. The line was later extended again to include 4-yr. Aged Ecuadorian maduro wrappers as well. The La Tradicion Cabinet Series is a medium-to-full bodied line available in Natural, Rosado, and Maduro wrappers. You’re gonna want more of this one!

We first featured the La Tradicion line in 1998 and received more reorders for the torpedo version of this line than any cigar we’d ever featured! Get ready for a delightful experience as the Churchill is every bit as good. Again we found it to be an exceptionally well-crafted cigar. Like the torpedo, it begins mild, and builds steadily in strength as you smoke. Look for a pleasant distinct cedar aroma and plenty of smoke volume. We found that the sweet mouthwatering flavor of the Nicaraguan tobacco really asserts itself in this cigar. You should get plenty of cedar and some spiciness and a touch of sweetness we’d attribute to the Ecuadorian Rosado wrapper. Overall, a fantastic cigar. Rich, packed with flavor, and medium-bodied. This line is easily, one of the lines we’ve had the pleasure of rating. Consider pairing it with your favorite single malt scotch, a pinot noir or full-bodied Merlot.
