Balanced and full-flavored, Perdomo Habano is the hottest blend in the Perdomo portfolio. Best of all, it comes in three choice varieties…a little something for everyone.
Perdomo is well-known not only for their cigar making but also today for the exceptional tobaccos grown by the family and fermented to their exacting standards. In the past few years, their portfolio of brands has become absolutely bulletproof. Right down the line, each Perdomo blend is quality – thanks to some of the strictest quality control standards in the industry.
Perdomo Habano is a Nicaraguan puro, utilizing tobacco from his own farms in Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. Available in a spicy corojo wrapper, creamy Connecticut, or a robust, triple fermented maduro, Habano is one of Perdomo’s greatest successes to date. The core flavor at the center of Perdomo Habano is an earthy and leathery blend that is perfectly balanced with a concise finish. Bold and satisfying, yet smooth enough for any palate.

Comments: Not much of a punch for a maduro but each draw carries with it clouds of white smoke. Aside from the bland flavor profile (the corojo wrapper has more spice), it’s excellent construction makes it an enjoyable smoke. |
