The Light Up:
At first glance, this cigar is very well constructed. Although a little veiny, the gorgeous Sun-Grown Maduro wrapper shines like the sun with natural oils. The cigar smelled great and I was anxious to get started. Box pressed cigars have always been a favorite of mine, I guess they’re just a more natural fit for me. Using my Xikar cutter and Xtend lighter I began my mission, to sit and enjoy this treat. I’ve smoked this particular Perdomo before the re-blending and I must say at first draw, this cigar was much better than it’s cousin. After the first quarter of the cigar, the complex blend began to emerge.

The Mid-Stick:
After about 20 minutes into the experience, my mouth was exploding with flavor. Chocolate, cedar and earth tones seeped out of the foot of the cigar catching my senses and creating a plethora of smoke which captured my attention faster than a model in a Ferrari. I was on the path to yet another fantastic smoking experience. Although mostly medium-bodied, this puppy did kick into overdrive a few times proving that it wasn’t a true medium-bodied smoke, but a much fuller and potent mix.
The burn was even, lot’s of smoke in the air, the perfect moment!

The Finish:
Nearing the band, this beauty never once neared the point of harshness. Most cigars at this point tend to fizzle out due to reasons that are easily overlooked. I have smoked a few cigars down to a nub(no brand relation) and this was one of them. At a size of 5 1/2″ x 54 this was a powerhouse blended to perfection like your favorite scotch. The price wasn’t bad either! Hell at $5.50, you just can’t go wrong! Price, flavor, strength, construction, need I say more? Run out and get your own and see for yourself! A strong 90!

Happy Smoking!
