The Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut features 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on the Perdomo family farms in Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa, highlighted by a 15-year-old Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper aged in bourbon barrels. This cigar delivers notes of cream, cedar, earth, berry, pepper, and a unique chestnut note, starting mild to medium in strength and body, but by the second half, both attributes move into medium territory. The blend features 15-year aged tobacco throughout the entire blend, with the Connecticut wrapper getting additional bourbon barrel aging - when most manufacturers rush Connecticut wrappers to market, Perdomo aged these for a decade and a half. Produced at Tabacalera Perdomo in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar represents one of the most anticipated cigar lines to hit the market in recent memory, celebrating Nick and Janine Perdomo's three decades in the premium cigar industry. Each cigar goes through 3,054 distinct production steps with 17 separate quality inspections, reflecting Perdomo's commitment to their vertically integrated manufacturing process and meticulous attention to detail. The Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut provides those "smooth and creamy" flavors deep in the smoking experience and is a well-balanced cigar where the flavors interact nicely. It's one of the best Connecticut Shade releases of the year and one recommended to any cigar enthusiast, coming in at 91 points and exceeding the Cigar Coop Standard of Excellence threshold.
