Perdomo Habano BBA Epicure Maduro

The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Epicure Maduro is a Nicaraguan Toro-sized cigar that delivers a multifaceted and indulgent experience. Wrapped in a dark, Maduro wrapper with a subtle veining, aged for six years and then further matured in bourbon barrels for 14 months, this cigar boasts a profound aroma with notes of cherry and a hint of oak, accompanied by a sweet and alluring scent. When drawn cold, the cigar reveals a hint of saltiness, paired with the richness of BBQ and a subtle peppery undertone that adds depth to the profile. Upon ignition, the cigar provides a silky smooth draw, unleashing flavors of malt and citrus, while a gentle peppery sensation is felt on the lips and the tip of the tongue. As the smoke progresses, cedar and malt flavors become more pronounced, with a creamy texture that enhances the overall character. The retrohale introduces a subtle red pepper nuance, adding complexity without overwhelming the inherent sweetness. In the final third, the cigar intensifies with robust espresso notes, while the retrohale continues to exhibit a red pepper presence, culminating in a woody finish. The cigar's construction is flawless, with a dense, even pack and a straightforward cap. It maintains a narrow, wavy char line and a firm white ash throughout, with a draw that is perfectly balanced, providing a smooth airflow that elevates the overall experience. This medium-strength cigar offers a harmonious blend of sweetness, spice, and earthy tones, making it a superior choice for those seeking a rich and satisfying smoke.
