Veteran cigar maker Nick Perdomo is no stranger to change. In fact it’s a way of life in the cigar industry. Cigar blenders continually adjust the components of a cigar to ensure uniform flavor and consistency in a given blend as new tobacco crops are used in the manufacturing process. Sometimes, it’s time to shake the tree and revitalize a line that seems to have lost a little magic in the marketplace. When Perdomo decided it was time to revamp his popular Habano series, he made a bold decision to use tobacco that’s been aged in former bourbon barrels. Perdomo took 6-year-old Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade tobacco and carefully laid it to rest in these barrels for an undisclosed period of time. This process adds complexity to the smooth and creamy wrapper that you wouldn’t find otherwise.

The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Connecticut is an important part of the Perdomo portfolio of premium cigars. While their 10th Anniversary Champagne gets the lion’s share of attention, this Connecticut cigar offers something a little more complex. The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Connecticut is made with Nicaraguan-grown Cuban-seed tobaccos for the filler and binder along with the barrel-aged Connecticut wrapper to create smooth, mild-medium smoke. Its rich, creamy flavor has notes of cream, caramel, and cocoa with hints of cedar on the finish. A stellar addition to the Perdomo stable, these cigars always offer the perfect balance of strength and flavor.
