Shortly following the Special Craft series, Perdomo has released a new line of Bourbon Barrel-Aged cigars. The Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Connecticut, Sun Grown, and Maduro. This cigar features a Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, filler, and a beautiful presentation. Let's get it lit up.
1/3 - When you get this cigar lit up, you get a smooth rush of white pepper accompanied by a very mild spice - not overpowering by any stretch. On the finish there's a sweet oaky flavor that really fits in nicely with the notes of white pepper that you get on the initial draw. The construction is near perfect with a very easy draw, a dead even burn, and great smoke output.
2/3 - Entering the half-way point of the stick, the flavors transition from the white pepper to more hints of walnut. The spice is still present and slowly intensifying. The sweetness on the finish starts to fade out at this point and is replaced by a light note of black pepper. The construction is still right where you want it to be with a great draw, even burn, and good smoke output.
3/3 - Coming to the end of the cigar we see one more flavor transition. The black pepper that was previously on the finish has become the dominant flavor. The finish has notes of sweet oak and almond. Another great cigar from Perdomo, great construction and beautiful labeling - a must have.
