Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Noir Maduro Figurado

94/100
- Cigar Journal

Awarded Best Brand of Nicaragua in 2018 by Cigar Journal, the Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne is blended using tobaccos that have been carefully hand-selected and aged for a minimum of six years. The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne was where the technique of bourbon barrel-aging wrapper tobaccos started for Perdomo. This special aging process was a Perdomo family secret for years and Nicholas Perdomo, Sr. aptly named the beautifully bourbon barrel-aged wrappers, the “Champagne” of wrappers.

The dark, oily Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper offers thick plumes of aromatic smoke with notes of chocolate and coffee. The Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves offer a rich spiciness with oaky undertones. The combination of the wrapper, binder, and fillers in this blend offers sweet flavors with rich complex aromas, and a smooth espresso finish.

The unusual shape of this vitola really adds to the experience, allowing a different level of complexity as the ratio of wrapper, filler and binder changes.
