Default perdomo champagne noir

After posting this on one of the English forums i visit ive decided to post this here and im prolly going to smoke another one today and order a 5 pack while im at it.

After having this gifted to be by a friend i decided to try it out today and to say im thrilled by it is a understatement.

Construction was perfect no veins on the wrapper which was dark and oily the band wasnt over glued which is a issue i find in most NCs and the draw was great with just the right amount of resistance.

1/3 - The cigar started incredibly woody and dry with a ever so slight slight sweetness and i mean really really incredibly woody and dry so much so coffee didnt cut it so i moved onto a nice glass of pineapple juice.

The burn was near perfect at this point and it produced lashings of smoke.

2/3 - Thank god at this point it turned from really woody to a very creamy and smooth smoke with dark choc and coffee notes.

The burns going a little wonky and needed to be touched up a bit often for my liking.

3/3 - By this point i am forced out of my smoking shed by the mice that decide they want to run over my feet every few mins BASTARDS the smoke is still nice and sweet but the dark choc flavours have been replaced with milk choc and milky coffee with just a hint of cedar.

The cold was getting to me so i ended it with about a inch to go but if i still had my shed i could of nubbed it.

All in all a great smoke and a small update the mouse problem has been resolved though my cat is now a semi permanent resident.

And as i cant get images to work your stuck with a link to the gallery.

I have heard great things about these. I'm usually not a fan of the Perdomo profile, but I will be seeking one of these out.

Sitting on a few of these. While not a fan of the Perdomo stuff, as it tends to be a lot lighter than I prefer...might have to finally light one of these up.

Great review. I did the Epicure review some time back. One of the best cigars under $10 IMO. Thanks
