I purchased these in a sampler pack recently from one of my favorite web sites.
When I read the name Tabacalera Perdomo on Google searches, right away I was intrigued. The Perdomo factory, run by Nick Perdomo Jr., has been putting out cigars like Ty Cobb put out hits over the last few years. Of course, when I hear the name Perdomo, I'm also quite likely to think of certain characteristics. One is slow burning, thick tobacco, from filler to wrapper. Another is high frequency of bad rolls, hence more bad draws. That's a big down side, and a couple of years ago CAO even shifted production of certain of its top of the line cigars away from the Perdomo factory.
However, notwithstanding any down side, one thing you can count on whether it's a cigar that Nick Perdomo designed and blended himself, or something that he's making with someone else's name on it, is that it'll probably be full of flavor.
And that's just what I got when I lit a Cuban Heirloom robusto, 4 7/8"x50 last night at 1711 hours to watch the first game. Despite feeling plugged at a vital spot, it drew beautifully throughout and had a delicate animal hide-like wrapper, though not like deerskin. This 1 hour and 19 minute smoke, quite long for a robusto, had a very bold and complex flavor profile. Strong lilac, flint, spicy leather and notes of smoky cream were present throughout with the leather really opening up toward the end.
A full flavored, medium bodied, extra smooth, easy drawing winner from the Perdomo factory.
Cuban Heirloom is made with Nicaraguan filler and binder and the delicious and very popular Cameroon wrapper.
