Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne

Perdomo ages this line in bourbon barrels and it does something real to the cigar — there is a honeyed, faintly sweet edge that separates it from standard Connecticuts. The Nicaraguan filler keeps it from going thin, so it lands mild-medium rather than genuinely mild. Perdomo's construction and cap work are consistently among the best in this price bracket. An easy cigar to like and an easy one to keep buying.

A smooth mild-medium with more sweetness than a classic Connecticut.
