Description
The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maduro Gordo is a 6 x 60 cigar made in EstelÃ, Nicaragua, with an oily Nicaraguan maduro wrapper over a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler. Perdomo gives that wrapper 14 months in bourbon barrels, the longest barrel stay of the line’s three wrapper shades.
What It Tastes Like
With no independent review of this size to cite, we lean on the maker: Perdomo describes the Maduro as a rich, sweet-leaning smoke with some depth, finishing on cocoa and dark-roast coffee. JR Cigars adds leather, almond and a light whiskey-like smokiness to that list. Perdomo labels it medium to full-bodied, and JR lists its strength as medium to full.
Who It’s For
- Wide-gauge fans who enjoy the unhurried pace of a 60 ring.
- Maduro smokers curious about barrel aging without moving to a flavored cigar.
- Perdomo regulars after the heaviest-gauge cut of the barrel-aged Maduro.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Maduro wrapper aged six-plus years, then 14 months in bourbon barrels (per Perdomo)
- Filler drawn from the Condega, Jalapa and Estelà valleys
- Big 60 ring gauge generally means a slower, longer smoke
Cons
- A 60 gauge can feel bulky if you prefer slimmer cigars
- We found no Cigar Aficionado score for this exact size and wrapper
About the Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Line
The line comes in Connecticut, Sun Grown and Maduro wrappers; Perdomo and halfwheel describe the barrel aging as a wrapper treatment, with each shade kept in the barrels for a different stretch. Tabacalera Perdomo, led by Nick Perdomo Jr., grows and rolls it in Nicaragua.
Pairing and Storage
Our cigar pairing guide groups maduro wrappers with fuller cigars; one of its full-bodied picks, a barrel-aged Old Fashioned, echoes the bourbon oak this wrapper sat in.
