The Perdomo Craft Series Amber Sun Grown Epicure is a Toro-sized cigar, boasting a medium to full-bodied profile and measuring 6.5 inches in length with a 54 ring gauge. Handcrafted entirely in Nicaragua, this cigar showcases a Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper, accompanied by binder and filler tobaccos sourced from the esteemed Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí valleys. The resulting flavor profile is rich and complex, pairing nicely with a variety of beers, including amber beers, pale ales, lagers, Oktoberfests, and IPAs. Upon ignition, the cigar unfurls a multifaceted array of flavors, featuring caramel sweetness, floral notes, a hint of pepper, and a subtle smokiness evoking the taste of grilled meats. As the cigar progresses, the flavor profile evolves to include dark chocolate sweetness, nutty notes, and a hint of honey, with a floral retrohale and a touch of pepper adding depth. In the final third, the flavors mature to include notes of rye and wheat, finishing with a nutty undertone, while the retrohale remains floral with a peppery nuance. The cigar's construction is flawless, with a tightly packed foot and a smooth, toothy wrapper that boasts minimal veining. The draw is well-balanced, providing the perfect amount of resistance and generating copious amounts of thick, white smoke. The burn is slow and even, characterized by a razor-sharp combustion line and a white ash that remains intact for nearly the first half of the cigar. Overall, the Perdomo Craft Series Amber Sun Grown Epicure delivers a satisfying and complex smoking experience, rendering it an excellent choice for aficionados seeking a flavorful and expertly crafted Toro.
