Perdomo Reserve # 5

The Perdomo Reserve line is among Nick Perdomo's finest achievements. Blended with Nicaraguan long-fillers, and covered in a most attractive silky wrapper, this aged beauty is matured over three times the usual duration. Ecuadorian Rosado wrappers appear on the natural, Nicaraguan Maduro leaf on the maduros, and on the new Cameroon line there's a genuine African-grown wrapper. Note the wonderfully ruddy wrapper on the beauty you've received with reddish highlights reminiscent of the brilliantly colored geology of the New Mexican desert this rustic gem is almost as enjoyable to behold as it is to smoke! An especially user-friendly feature on this cigar is the shape; with its narrow foot, it is particularly easy to get an even light. We found the flavor exceptionally rich with hints of spice and a slight chocolaty taste. This box-pressed figurado finishes with earthy, sweet flavors that are superbly interspersed with notes of cedar. Pour yourself a hoppy porter, such as Sierra Nevada's version, and prepare to sing the praises of both the cigar and the beer!
