Aged to Perfection

The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maduro is a highly rated blend, with the Epicure vitola representing one of six available sizes in the line. The Perdomo family oversees every step of production, beginning with Cuban-seed tobacco grown on its farms throughout Nicaragua. The success of this blend is largely attributed to its meticulous aging process. All tobaccos in the Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged line are aged for a minimum of six years. The Maduro wrapper receives special attention, undergoing an additional fourteen months of maturation in ex-bourbon barrels. This extensive process imparts a rich, caramelized, dark chocolate color and deepens the wrapper’s complexity. As part of Perdomo’s Special Craft Series, this cigar appeals to smokers who enjoy a refined touch of bourbon barrel influence in their profile.

The Blend and Flavor

The Habano Maduro is a true Nicaraguan puro, composed of aged Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos. The filler blend includes four-year-aged tobacco from Condega, five-year-aged tobacco from Jalapa, and six-year-aged tobacco from Estelí. The result is a smoke that begins with straightforward notes of coffee and mocha. As the cigar progresses, additional layers of earthy complexity and spice emerge. Subtle supporting flavors of malt, dry fruit, cream, and citrus add to the cigar’s balance and depth. Construction quality is consistently excellent, offering a smooth draw and a thin, even burn line. This blend is highly regarded in the cigar community and has received ratings as high as 95.
