Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro Robusto

[Kreth]

Knowing I'm a Perdomo fan, Dunkel sent me this stick in a trade we did a while ago.

Humidor time: 1 month

Prelight: The wrapper was bumpy and has prominent veins, but had a nice shine to it. Construction looked nice, and the stick was heavy in the hand. Prelight draw was easy, tasting of coffee and chocolate.

Burn: The burn started off uneven because my lighter ran dry while lighting (hate when that happens), requiring a quick refill and touchup. The stick also tunneled and went out twice during the last third (leaving me doing a Rodney McKay impression, "Oh no! Nononononononono."). I can only attribute the tunneling to the wet, cold weather here, as the cigar burned great otherwise, and took off after a relight like it had never gone out. Ash was a bit flaky, but held on well, and the draw was easy, producing tons of smoke.

Flavor: Not much complexity here, this stick was all about the maddie goodness: coffee, chocolate, and a nice hint of oak for contrast. I nubbed this until my beard was smoldering. Oh yes, I nubbed it hard.

Summary: "Please, sir, I want some more." :ss

Sounds like a good smoke. I have also become quite fond of Perdomo cigars.

Thanks for the review! One of the local B&M's had a Perdomo event in early summer, and that was my first introduction to Perdomo. Since then I have become a real fan, and their maduro's are very tasty!

I am a fan of most things Perdomo and here is another stick with lots of flavor. Thanks for the review and the reminder to pick up a few more of these.
