Perdomo Fresco Sun Grown Robusto is a premium cigar disguised in a bundle. For over two decades, Nick Perdomo and company have been producing some of the tastiest treats in the business. Whether it’s a high-dollar celebration cigar or a budget stick made for the price savvy, it can be always trusted as a quality product if it carries the Perdomo name. In the case of Fresco, we have a Nicaraguan handmade gem that outperforms many of the top-selling cigars out there. Like many Perdomo blends, Fresco is available in 3 delicious formats: Natural(Connecticut), Maduro, and Sungrown, so there is always something for everyone. This delicious, fuller-bodied Sun Grown variant is a Nicaraguan puro rolled with top-quality Nicaraguan tobacco, wrapper, filler, and binder. The luxurious wrapper leaf is, as the blend would imply, sun-grown, meaning it is going to carry a rich, deep flavor that will satisfy seasoned connoisseurs looking for a bundle cigar with a little more punch. Don’t let the bundle packaging fool you, however, as Perdomo Fresco has all the bells and whistles one could expect from a high-end premium cigar.
For what it is, Perdomo Fresco Sun Grown is actually a beautiful cigar. The caramel brown wrapper leaf is veiny and toothy, and the construction is quite impressive. The ridiculously big and colorful black band with metallic lettering may look a bit gaudy, but it only adds to the deceptive nature of the delicious treat wearing it. An overly generous draw offers immense smoke production and a clean, sharp burn. Thick clouds of white smoke open with spicy Nicaraguan pepper as the earthy raw tobacco flavor profile begins to emerge. The overall profile is quite simple, but the body and creaminess of the smoke makes it unusually enjoyable. A peppery, sweet finish can be noted on the retrohale as Fresco Sun Grown slowly increases from medium-bodied to just shy of full. The Fresco lines are offered in several classic sizes, so there is always something for every preference. At 5” x 50, the Robusto offers a shorter, more potent approach to Fresco Sun Grown, making it great as a time-passing cigar.
Perdomo Fresco Sun Grown makes a great cigar for the beginner or intermediate cigar smoker looking to get into fuller-bodied sticks. At the same time, many experienced connoisseurs use Fresco Sun Grown as an everyday smoke, as despite its low price point, it performs just as well as any medium-full-bodied premium cigar. Fresco Sun Grown goes well with medium-bodied beer, bourbon, or even fuller-bodied white wine, and is great for any time of day. If you’ve come to know and love other premium Perdomo blends such as Champagne Sun Grown or Lot 23, give Fresco Sun Grown a shot. You may be very pleasantly surprised. Since its introduction many years ago, Perdomo Fresco has been one of the top-selling bundle cigars on the market, and it’s no surprise. If you have yet to try one, there is no better time than the present to grab a Perdomo Fresco Sun Grown Robusto and see what you’ve been missing!
