Description
The Perdomo Lot 23 Sun Grown Gordito is a stubby 4 1/2 x 60 cigar with a Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper around a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler, every leaf aged five years according to Perdomo. Cigar Coop lists the line’s factory as Tabacalera Perdomo in EstelÃ.
What It Tastes Like
Perdomo’s notes describe an earthy, nutty smoke whose finish carries almond, cedar and a little spice, at medium body. In one October 2020 review of this exact Gordito, a peppery start soon gave way to coffee, cedar and toasted nuts, and the reviewer saw an even early burn that needed no touch-ups.
Who It’s For
- Lunch-hour smokers after a wide ring in a short frame.
- Fans of earthy Nicaraguan tobacco who prefer medium strength.
- Lot 23 regulars curious how the sun-grown leaf compares with the Connecticut and Maduro versions.
Pros and Cons
Pros

About Perdomo Lot 23
The crop cycle: binder and filler are planted in September, cut in January, given a year of fermentation, then held in bales for a minimum of three further years ahead of rolling. Perdomo dates the project to 2000, when Nick Perdomo Sr. began it with his son Nick Jr., drawing the tobacco from a single plot on one of the family’s Estelà farms.
