Perdomo Patriarch Corona Extra Cigar

Perdomo Patriarch Corona Extra Cigar Review

by Johnny Mixx on April 30, 2010

Perdomo Patriarch Corona ExtraCreated to honor Nicholas Perdomo Sr., Perdomo Patriarch combines the best long leaf tobaccos from the top three growing regions in Nicaragua with superb craftsmanship; allowing for a special, unique medium to full-bodied experience only Perdomo can offer.

The Perdomo family has been greatly involved in the tobacco industry for at least three generations. With that in mind, they concentrate their quality control practices not only on the efforts of rolling each individual stick, but more so on growing quality tobacco. Each Perdomo cigar must maintain a consistent flavor from box to box, in addition to passing some of the highest quality control standards in the industry.

Nick Perdomo spared no expense when creating Perdomo Patriarch. The blend consists of tobaccos stemming from Condega, Jalapa, and Esteli – Nicaragua’s top growing regions. These tobaccos are concealed by choice, grade ‘A’ wrappers: either a semi-sweet, rich, and oily maduro or a bold, robust, yet creamy Corojo. Each offers its own unique characteristics from spicy-sweet and earthy flavors in the Corojo to a phenomenal rich nuance of cocoa and espresso with a hint of sugar in the maduro. The finish is long and enjoyable, as this medium to full-bodied blend should be found in every enthusiast’s humidor.
