Description
The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Robusto Sun Grown is a 5 x 54 robusto with a Nicaraguan sun-grown wrapper over Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler. The wrapper gets an extra stay in bourbon barrels after years of regular aging.
What It Tastes Like
Perdomo’s page sums up the Sun Grown blend as rich and spicy, though it names oak and cedar on the finish in one spot and oak and almond in another. halfwheel’s launch report pegged the Sun Grown as earthy with a light spice. We could not find a Cigar Aficionado rating for this exact Robusto, so we don’t quote a score here.
Who It’s For
