The Perdomo Legacy Maduro utilizes 10-year-aged, dark, oily Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers that undergo bourbon barrel aging for a minimum of 14 months, delivering a medium-to-full-bodied profile with notes of semi-sweet chocolate and espresso on the finish. This Nicaraguan puro features a Nicaraguan Shade-grown binder made from a proprietary hybrid seed developed from a combination of Cuban and Cameroon seeds, paired with rich Nicaraguan fillers from the Perdomo family's most prestigious farms in Estelí, Condega, and the famed Jalapa Valley.
The Legacy line represents a project spearheaded by Nicholas Perdomo III, the son of Nick Perdomo Jr., created to commemorate his father's 60th birthday and honor his 30+ years of expertise in premium cigar making. Over a decade ago, Nick Perdomo Jr. established a shade-grown operation on their 600-acre farm, Finca Natalie, in Estelí, Nicaragua, where the mineral-rich volcanic soil created the perfect environment for cultivating this rich, flavorful tobacco from a hybridized Cuban-Cameroon seed developed in collaboration with their agronomy and genetics teams.
The Legacy Maduro opens with bold and rich flavors, greeting smokers with dark chocolate and espresso on the first puff, accompanied by a subtle hint of black pepper, while the Maduro wrapper adds a natural sweetness that balances the initial bitterness of the espresso. This cigar is recommended for more seasoned cigar enthusiasts but is also approachable for novices, earning box-worthy consideration from reviewers.
