The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut represents a personal project spearheaded by Nicholas Perdomo III to honor his father Nick Perdomo Jr.'s 60th birthday, undertaking one of the most ambitious projects in Perdomo Cigars' history. This medium-bodied cigar features a 10-year-aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that undergoes bourbon barrel aging for a minimum of 8-10 months, delivering notes of cream, cedar, nuts, cashew, cappuccino, and light pepper with a subtle sweetness.
At the core of this blend is a proprietary hybrid tobacco developed from a combination of Cuban and Cameroon seeds, cultivated on Perdomo's Finca Natalie farm in Estelí, Nicaragua. This unique shade-grown tobacco serves as the binder, uniting Nicaraguan filler leaves from the Perdomo family farms in Estelí, Condega, and the Jalapa Valley. The cigar exemplifies Perdomo's commitment to vertical integration and their renowned bourbon barrel-aging techniques that have defined the brand's premium offerings.
The Legacy Connecticut delivers more boldness than typical Connecticut Shade offerings while maintaining the wonderful creamy sweetness that Connecticut cigars are known for. This is a cigar recommended for any cigar enthusiast and merits box purchase consideration, representing the next generation of the Perdomo legacy through masterful blending and exceptional craftsmanship.
