CigarPursuits: Pursuing the "Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Sun Grown"

   

About Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Sun Grown

Founded on a rich heritage of Cuban cigar craftsmanship, Perdomo Cigars traces its origins to the dedication and expertise of Silvio Perdomo in San Jose de las Lajas, Cuba. Beginning his journey in the 1930s, Silvio's apprenticeship with Cuesta y Cia laid the foundation for a legacy of quality and tradition. Nick Perdomo, Jr., furthered this legacy, establishing Perdomo Cigars in 1992 in Miami, Florida, driven by a profound love for cigars and his family's history.
Celebrating over two decades of the Perdomo Reserve line, the 10th Anniversary Sun Grown is a Nicaraguan puro featuring a six-year-old Cuban-Seed Sun Grown Nicaraguan wrapper, meticulously aged for ten months in bourbon barrels.

Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Sun Grown



Appearance & Construction: 15/15

The robusto presents a box-pressed shape with a solid construction, demonstrating the care in its crafting. Its finish at both ends and the absence of soft spots suggest a well-made cigar prepared for an even burn.

Aroma: 13/15

Initial impressions are marked by a combination of cedar and earth emanating from the wrapper, with the cold draw bringing forward hints of pepper and sweetness, setting the stage for the flavor profile to come.

Flavors: 28/35

The smoke journey begins with pronounced notes of pepper and earth, transitioning into cedar and coffee flavors with an underlying leather. The experience rounds off with a spicy and woody finish, providing a consistent taste throughout.

Burn & Smoke: 15/15

The cigar burns evenly, producing a firm white ash, indicative of quality tobacco and construction. The smoke is described as voluminous and creamy, enhancing the overall experience.

Overall Enjoyment: 17/20

The cigar delivers a straightforward flavor profile, dominated by earthy and woody notes. While the complexity may not be pronounced, the experience is deemed enjoyable, with a preference for more sweetness to balance the predominant flavors.

Conclusion

Based on the experience, the cigar would be rated at 88/100. This reflects an appreciation for the cigar's quality and smoking experience, despite a desire for greater complexity and sweetness in the flavor profile.

Bonus - Perfect Pairing

A slightly sweet bourbon could complement the robusto’s profile well. The sweetness of the bourbon may enhance the subtler sweet notes of the cigar, while its rich character could provide a pleasant contrast to the cigar's earthy and woody tones.
