Perdomo Craft Series Pilsner Connecticut Epicure

The Perdomo Craft Series Pilsner Connecticut Epicure is a Toro-sized cigar, measuring 6½ inches by 54 ring gauge, that boasts a smooth, medium-bodied smoke. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, it showcases a Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in the United States, paired with a binder from Nicaragua's Jalapa Valley and fillers from the Condega Valley. Upon lighting, this cigar unfolds with a rich, creamy texture, introducing flavors of toasted bread and butter, accompanied by a delicate sweetness and a subtle kick. As the cigar progresses, the flavor profile evolves, revealing notes of caramel, cream, and cedar, with a retrohale that adds a warm, spicy nuance from nutmeg, intertwined with cedar and a hint of earthy undertones. The Connecticut Shade wrapper is exceptionally well-crafted, boasting a silky texture and ultra-fine veins that evoke the appearance of a freshly poured pilsner. The cigar's construction is well-balanced, with a slight give to the touch, indicating a satisfying firmness without being too dense. This cigar is designed to complement a range of beers, particularly pilsners, and delivers a harmonious, enjoyable smoking experience. The burn is generally even, with a slightly charred edge, and is accompanied by a white ash that forms a tidy, coin-like stack. The aroma is redolent with cedar, bread, and spices, further enriching the sensory experience.
