Description
The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Robusto is a 5 x 56 Nicaraguan puro with a dark Cuban-seed Maduro wrapper over Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler. Perdomo rests that wrapper in bourbon barrels for 14 months after its initial aging, the longest barrel stint among the three 20th Anniversary blends.
What It Tastes Like
Perdomo describes the Maduro as deep and layered, leaning sweet, with semi-sweet chocolate and espresso closing it out. Cigar Coop reviewed this exact Robusto in November 2012 and scored it 88 (“Nice to Have”). The review noted leather early, then exotic spice with unsweetened cocoa, and some nuttiness late in the smoke.
Who It’s For
- Cocoa-leaning maduro fans who like a short, thick 56-ring format.
- Bourbon drinkers curious how barrel-rested wrapper leaf comes across in a cigar.
- Lot 23 Maduro smokers ready to try a Perdomo wrapper with longer aging behind it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Wrapper aged eight years, then 14 months in bourbon barrels, per Perdomo
- Scored 88 by Cigar Coop (November 2012)
- All-Nicaraguan tobacco from Estelí, Condega and the Jalapa Valley, per the 2012 launch release
Cons
- Rated medium-full by Perdomo but full by Cigar Coop, so it may overwhelm newer smokers
- The 56 ring may feel bulky if you prefer a slimmer robusto
