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. Perdomo Cigars is a family-owned company based in Miami, Florida with agricultural and manufacturing facilities in Esteli, Nicaragua. To ensure the highest quality, they oversee every step of the process from the tobacco-growing processes in Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa, to distribution in Miami.
The cigar is superior on all fronts, pumping out various nuances including rich tobacco flavors, hints of coffee, creamy undertones, and a subtle sweetness, almost like honey. Cigar Aficionado awarded Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Connecticut cigars multiple 85+ point ratings. The mild smoking characteristics with hints of cedar and marzipan will suit a lot of cigar lovers and there is no increase in strength towards the end.
