That Perdomo is the best connecticut cigar on the market in my opinion. I had two last week, and they were great. Excellent review.

I’m really excited about trying this. I’m new to cigars and have kind of skipped over Connecticut wrappers since starting this adventure. I just bought a sample bag of perdomo Connecticut including 2 of these one and can’t wait to try them in the next 2-4 weeks!

That's interesting - Connecticuts are often the starting point for many of those who are new to cigars. I think you'll definitely enjoy these Perdomo Habanos, and if you need other Connecticut wrapper suggestions, check out this page: bespokeunit.com/cigars/best/connecticut/ Rafael

Construction is flawless visually, in the hand and burn wise. Great draw. Better than far more expensive sticks and punches well above its price. Combustion is excellent. White and extremely robust ash. Could easily hold a 2,5-3" ash. Lots of smoke output. Doesn't burn hot, not even in the end. Cigar is aged and ready to smoke upon purchase. I don't expect it to change significantly with age. Stenght is medium throughout. Overall smooth. Not too creamy. Flavor wise is nutty with citrus on the initial puffs. Nuttiness isn't heavy lingering in the background. Nuts and citrus notes fighting for the upper hand, but not necessarily in a bad way. Cedarwood starting to appear. Bourbon introducing itself through lingering bitterness. Initial cedarwood transitions to bitter wood the more you smoke. Earth notes introduces itself at the end. (Bitter) wood and citrus disappears at final third for bitter bourbon and aged tobacco. No flavour notes at final third, just tobacco and bitterness. Initially non aggressive white pepper with a hint of red pepper maybe on the retro hale. Black pepper lingering but disappearing rather quickly. Not spicy, just peppery. Aged tobacco appearing on the retro hale halfway through. Little to no changes flavor wise throughout except more pronounced tobacco the more you smoke while nuttiness takes the back seat in the second third and disappears completely in the final third. Only bitter wood and aged tobacco at the end. No surprises note wise overall. Straight forward without any complexity. Great stick for the price. The flavor profile, however is not in my ally. Not a knock on the cigar, but it's not for me. Nuts and citrus is not a natural marriage for me. I'd rather experience some saltiness and creaminess with the nutty flavor instead of citrus. I'm a summer smoker. If I was a daily smoker, I might have kept it in rotation occasionally to keep cost down. Glad to have tried it. Have a couple more I'll enjoy in company. Would I offer it to friends with no regrets? Definitely. But maybe not to inexperienced smokers as the bitterness can be off-putting.

I’m pretty confused. So on the Perdomo website the cigar is listed as having an “Ecuadorian Connecticut” wrapper. I remember In a video nick Perdomo said that the wrapper was grown in the Connecticut valley...so I’m confused on why it says the wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut. Lol might be a dumb question but I’m honestly confused.

Hi Matt, The blend might have changed since it was released. We've seen this happen a lot where the tobacco varieties in a cigar may switch after a few years to something different but similar. It's usually either because the crops used have run out and the new ones don't provide the same flavour. Since cigars seek to provide smokers with consistency, it's often the intention. Best, CP

@@Bespokeunit thanks! I have another question that’s I’ve been trying to figure out. So a “habano” is tobacco from a Cuban seed so I’ve heard. Again this might be a dumb question but how is it a habano if the wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut? I’m really trying to understand cigars more and this has me stumped lol. I guess what I’m asking is what makes this cigar a habano?

It's Cuban seed tobacco grown in Ecuador. They shade grow it and cure it to be a lighter shade and flavor profile.... Hope this helps!

I don't get any of that. I just get a rich tobacco flavor.

Flavor notes in cigars can be a bit subjective, though there are definitely broader flavors in each cigar that most smokers can discern. Of course, with more experience (and cigars smoked) you'll be better at picking out these notes. Rafael

Depends on your humidification level. Drop your cigars down to 62-65% and you’ll experience more flavor.
