Perdomo Artesanal Maduro Torpedo

The Perdomo family is known for their high quality and impressive blends. According to Perdomo, it takes 3,057 steps to make a cigar from seed to finished cigar. Carefully crafted by experts, the Perdomo Artesanal Maduro you have is a true Nicaraguan puro crafted with a thick Nicaraguan Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and a Nicaraguan binder. Inside is a bevy of Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-fillers from the three famous growing regions within Nicaragua: bold and slightly spicy tobaccos from Estelí, rich, earthy tobaccos from Jalapa, and aromatic tobaccos from Condega. Medium in body, expect notes of rich tobacco and with sweetness on the finish. Great for any time of day, enjoy it with a cappuccino.

The Nicaraguan cigar industry originated when Cuban cigar makers escaped the revolution and re-established their livelihood in Nicaragua with Cuban-seed tobacco. Blessed with dark, rich soil, their new home was ideal for tobacco cultivation and Nicaragua quickly became known for cigars that rivaled Cuban quality. Unfortunately, revolution and war came to Nicaragua in the 1980s and devastated the industry, but it’s rebounded dramatically and is once again producing tobacco considered by many to be the finest in the world.

The Esteli Valley is in many ways the heart of Nicaraguan production and is known for its very powerful and spicy tobacco. The Jalapa Valley produces arguably the finest tobacco in the country: somewhat sweeter and less intense than Esteli, but extremely complex. The tobacco of the Condega Valley is often described as a blend of the other two regions.
