Someday you just have to make the odyssey to Nicaragua to visit Tabacalera Perdomo, but until then you can experience that small slice of heaven through the Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Maduro Toro cigar. Originally an exclusive smoke for those lucky few able to make a personal appearance at Nick Perdomo’s renowned Central American estate, it is now available to be enjoyed by the rest of us. A true Nicaraguan Puro, as it had better be, this smoke pulls in longleaf from across the country’s tobacco-growing region. The Esteli farms adjacent to the factory provides the robust filler, the binder is from nearby Condega, and the Maduro wrapper takes a slightly longer journey up from Jalapa.
Almost as though they are expecting you to show up at their tableside during a walkthrough, the rollers responsible for each Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Toro have made every effort to craft the most spectacular vitola possible. Thick and juicy and oily, each aromatic 6” X 52 stick is loaded with massive amounts of rich tobacco while still providing a smooth draw. Billowing sheaves of smoke pour from the hefty barrel straight to the pleasure center of the brain loaded with coffee, white pepper, cinnamon, black cherry, and cocoa. Overall, it’s a medium-full and creamy delight you don’t even have to leave your house to enjoy.
There’s a bit of a pictorial wink and a nod to an old cigar-rolling legend in each box of Perdomo Factory Tour Blend Maduro Toros, but you’ll have to buy one to find out what it is. Let’s just say it involves the employment of a very specific type of torcedor. Even as a single, however, this is one smoke that you simply must try. You’ll be inspired to start saving for that flight South before you even reach the nub.
