The Perdomo Champagne Sun Grown Torpedo measures 7x54 with a nice dark wrapper with a very earthy aroma. The Sun Grown version of the Champagne series is new to Perdomo that's now available in shops around the country. This cigar features Cuban-Seed tobacco that's grown in high quality soil in Nicaragua. It's rolled in a U.S. Connecticut shade wrapper. The cigar is one of the nicest looking and smelling cigars out there today.
When you get the cigar lit up, you get a strong spice flavor with very creamy earthy notes added in. The other Champagne cigars made by Perdomo are also spicy, but with this stick, they have intensified it greatly. Construction wise, there are no flaws. The cigar has a nice draw, perfectly even burn, and nice smoke output. So far so good.
The 2/3's point of the stick really lets you know that it's full-bodied. New flavors are starting to blend in with the creamy earth/pepper flavors. You now get a sweet soil flavor, but keep the intense spice. Spicy cigars aren't my favorite, but if they are accompanied by a nice blend of flavors, then I don't mind. The cigar still has a nice draw, dead even burn, and nice smoke output. Let's see what the 3/3's point brings.
3/3's point to the end wraps up the smoke nicely. The creamy earth flavors come back and the sweetness leaves. The spice on the finish decreases in intensity which is a nice touch to end the cigar. Perdomo knocked this out of the park. One of the best cigars I've had.
Stogie Rite score: 98
