Why did we choose the Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut as our Cigar of the Month for October? The cigar offers incredible complexity from the first puff until it’s time to put the cigar down. The cigar starts with a smooth light texture that grows to be incredibly rich in the finish. The flavors are complex yet smooth, ranging from general fruitiness, citrus, dried herbs and leather and many more. A type of complexity that never gets boring. The body, which is mild on the borderline of Medium, makes it suitable for most cigar smokers. What also stood out a bit was how slowly you could smoke the cigar without it going out. I sat with the Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut robusto cigar for 70 minutes.
