Decadence....from Tabacalera Perdomo.

When it comes to deep, flavorful maduro wrappers, Nick Perdomo grows some of the finest. Cultivated from the fertile soils of Esteli, these wrappers are broadleaf and gloriously sun-grown - resulting in a superior leaf that's thick, oily, and loaded with flavor. Only the finest such tobaccos are hand-selected and triple-fermented, then extensively aged before adorning Perdomo's new Oscuro.

Perdomo Reserve Oscuro is a beautiful cigar that tastes even better than it looks - hard as that is to believe. In crafting this majestic creature, a bold mixture of long-fillers grown throughout Nicaragua was selected. Tobaccos from Esteli comprise the core of this cigar, Condega leaves provide a sweet, aromatic character, while Jalapa tobaccos are added for balance. The result is a healthy dollop of rich tobacco supplemented by a deep influence of dark chocolate, espresso bean, and earth. The oscuro wrapper lends a natural sweetness and spicy aftertaste that works remarkably well together, completing an eventful and satisfying medium-bodied experience from Perdomo.

“Dear CI, I am relatively new to the cigar world. After burning through several different varieties in the "Sizzler Sampler", I decided to order the daily special of Perdomo Reserve Oscuro. What a cigar! The slow burn, draw, flavor and aroma were all excellent. This is definitely a winner. The folks at Tabacalera Perdomo must be congratulated for their fine workmanship. Unfortunately, I don't think these are going to last very long... Thanks CI for a great deal on a truly great cigar. ”

“My first impression of this cigar was, "this is why I smoke cigars!". It's a complex and robust smoke for the sophisticated pallet. This initially came with a sampler pack that was quite good but this Nicaraguan proved to be a very inspiring smoke. I've been smoking for 25 years and have smoked everything from Oscars to Monte Cristos, having begun by a coincidence: there was a world class cigar shop right next to my work entrance located across the street from Grand Central Station. Now, the search for the ultimate cigar ended with this one. Everything else: Second Rate.”
AK of Deltona, FL
“The elegant look of these sticks can't help but catch your eye. Bought a box, and was suprised to find they taste as good as they look! Took a bunch to the golf course, passed them out, and they became the 'talk' of the round, rather than the usual 'hack-smack'!! Smooth, rich, aromatic, and very consistent. These go great with a good scotch or cognac. All of my cigar-herfin' buddies and I rated this one a solid 91! What are you waiting for...order a box NOW!”
MD of Kaneohe, HI
“What can i say, the "Perdomo Reserve Ltd. Oscuro", was a unrivaled surprise to me. Forget about how great it's put together, what flavor. Exactly as advertised and the price is unbelievable. As long as there is C.I., i'll smoke the best.... for less. A wonderful cigar. I'll rate it a 90. Enjoy.”
VB of SAN FRANCISCO, CA
“A Game-changer. It has been fantastic over the years - great consistency. Can be appreciated by first-time cigar smokers and experienced aficionados alike. I hope they continue offering it. Thanks Nick and Nick Jr.”
BB of Herndon, VA
“This is one fine cigar. Just tried the first one out of the sampler and I have to say this one has flavor all the way through. Nothing boring about it. I will definitely be adding a box to my humidor soon. The price just can't be beat for such a quality smoke. Perdomo rules.”
Ji of m P.Millington, TN
“Pros: Easy draw, just the right amount of smoke. Burns even. Cons: Does get smoother and mellower toward the middle. Wants to go out after two thirds. Got pretty high on this one so will make sure I have eaten a nice meal first next time I have one. Will leave in humi awhile before doing another.”
CC of Portland, OR
“Perdomo Oscuro Ltd. 7x50 with 3 fingers of Blanton’s (neat) and a glass of ice water on the side is perfect. The nuance of chocolate and coco in the Perdomo and the subtle sweetness of the Blanton’s is a treat not to be missed if you ever have the chance. Smooth, slow, even burn with both. Enjoyed with friends, or in a chair that looks out to the horizon is even better!”
SI of Charlotte, NC
“Wow, I wasn't expecting these Perdomo Reserve Oscuro to be this tasty! I've had a lot of Perdomo cigars and had kind of got away from them for various reasons. I'm back on them as long as these Oscuro wrapped beauties are in stock.”
BR of Hesperia, CA
“This is a great tasting cigar. It is just the right mix of sweet creamy and full flavor. If you do not try these you will be missing out on a great smoke.”
CE of Charlotte, NC
“Steve-O's review of this cigars was right on! I thoroughly enjoyed this gar and eagerly await to burn the rest of my samplers to test consistency, although out of the gate, I think I have found another cigar to keep in regular supply in my humidor!”
EG of San Diego, CA
“What an excellant smoke. Pallet freindly. Does'nt dry your mouth out. Great balance, cool smoke all the way down. I've been into cigars for about a year. This is the first that had a perfect burn. Very relaxing. Love the natural sweetness. Can't say enough. A 93.5”
DE of Arcadia, IN
“CI you have done it again!!! A great cigar at a very affordable price with excellent taste and flavor. I really enjoy this Perdermo; the longer I let it humidify in my chest, the better the smoke.”
CW of Irvine, CA
“This is my new favorite; delicious in every way a cigar should be. Great burn, wonderful taste, unique sweetness and a killer price. What more could you ask for ?”
TS of Corona, CA
“I just tried my first Perdomo Reserve Ltd and I have to say it is a great smoke! Very consistent all the way through. I would rate it a 90. Do yourself a favor and try one of these. You won't be sorry. I bought a 10 pk on a JC deal of the day without ever even trying these and wish I bought more!”
MD of Waterbury, CT
“If your looking for a well made, great draw, burns even, and looks great, this is it. I received this in a sampler pack, and happy that CI included this cigar. The cigar will satisfy you with the amount of smoking time you have, since it burns slow. Having said that, while this was a fantastic cigar in every area that I have mentioned. It is on the robusto side and if you only smoke mild to moderate, this will probably be to much for you. For those that like a cigar with a little bite to it, then this would be a good choice.”
DM of Taylor, MI
“I bought a couple of boxes of these after I tried one from a sampler. I'd love to see how they taste with some age on them, but can't quit smoking them long enough to let them age. One of my current favorites.”
OE of Loudon, TN
“Was the first cigar that made me become a cigar maniac. After smoking this brand I bought my own humidor and ordered 100 cigars to fill it. Though they aren't all Perdomo, a good majority are so I can smoke and age as many as I can. Definitely my favorite cigar.”
GW of Aurora, IL
“Dynamite smoke, great for just sitting under a shady tree watching a ball game and sipping a black coffe”

Perdomo Reserve Oscuro Limited

Posted by Steve R

If you’ve read through my reviews, you’ll probably notice I am a fan of Perdomo cigars. In fact, some have called me a Perdomo ho, in addition to a maduro ho. So....one can only assume that a new maduro from Perdomo would get me pretty excited....and one would be 100% correct.
 
The maduro leaf used by Nick Perdomo is very unique. Cultivated from Esteli, Nicaragua, this broadleaf is grown in full sun, producing a thick, leathery texture and dark, toothy appearance. After an extensive fermentation process - three fermentation processes to be exact - this leaf achieves a black, oscuro hue with ample oils. It is then draped around a bold mixture of aged long-fillers grown throughout Nicaragua to create the Perdomo Reserve Oscuro Limited.
 
I guess this write-up is more of a recommendation than a review. Truth is, I’ve been burning these cigars at a feverish pace for a couple months now – probably 1-2 a day. If you like maduros, or that classic flavor of Nicaraguan cigars, add Perdomo Reserve Oscuro Limited to your must-try short list. The cigar is a little rough after lighting, but within a minute or two, the flavor opens up to impart a rich and hearty bouquet. Dark notes of tobacco dominate a subtle series of black coffee flavors mixed with smokey nuances and earth. The finish is both spicy and sweet, a product of the enjoyable wrapper leaf. These flavors are balanced, but pack some punch....especially after hitting the midway point. The aroma is bold and plentiful, filling the room with a deep and smoky charcoal aroma. The burn is moderately slow, producing a white ash that requires some assistance getting into the ashtray. The last few puffs are eventful, smacking the palate with a robust array of toast and pepper – a fitting finale. Truth be told, this cigar reminds me of the old, box-pressed version of La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve Maduro. A cigar I loved and miss....the one that turned me onto Perdomo cigars in the first place.
 
This cigar is good for several reasons. First, the quality is awesome. Despite the thick and oily leaf, each cigar burns even and draws like a dream. Second, the outer oscuro leaf promotes a genuine maduro sensation – sweet spices, rich, and chewy, with a toasty, charcoal-like aroma. Third, the Nicaraguan tobaccos impart a rich, Nicaraguan flavor – black tobacco flavors, coffee bean, earth. It’s all of Perdomo’s best qualities wrapped up into one cigar.
