Perdomo 30th Connecticut robusto cigar review

I was a little surprised after lighting the cigar. I had previously tried the maduro and sungrown varieties and thought this one would provide the same complexity, to my great delight this cigar gave off more than many of its competitors do.

1/3 Lets fire up the Perdomo 30th conneticut

After I toasted the cigar, my taste buds were greeted with a mild creamy texture. The flavors I felt were a nuttiness that made me think of sweet almond, citrus-like flavor and acidity, cedar wood, pepperiness that reminded me of a combination of white pepper and cayenne pepper, hay and honey-like sweetness. In the background there were lighter flavors of minerals and strangely enough vanilla sugar. The retrohalation tickled my nose slightly and gave off a fainter shade of white pepper.

2/3 A wonderful complexity emerged.

As I approached the second third of the Perdomo 30th Connecticut Robusto, a complexity emerged that made the cigar more interesting. The texture was still slightly creamy but had taken up a bit more space on my palette. The flavors I felt in the cigar were hay in combination with grass which was the absolute dominant flavor followed by florality, an incredibly interesting taste of citrus that reminded me of lime, coffee latte, almond, dried herbs, minerals that were previously in the background were now more prominent and salty. In the background there were faint flavors of fruitiness and vanilla bean. The retrohalation became a bit smoother and the nuances I felt were white pepper and hay.

3/3 What a great ending to a cigar

The texture grew and became incredibly creamy and rich. The flavors I felt in the cigar were Fruitiness, hay, dried herbs, Florality, hay although it retreated compared to before, honey-like sweetness, coffee latte, butter, citrus, saltiness, nuttiness and cedar. In the background I felt flavors of leather, chestnut and dark berries that enriched the cigar even more. Retrohalation was smooth and the white pepper nuance from before was gone, now there was only a hint of woodiness left.

Conclusion

Perdomo 30th Connecticut robusto is a mild cigar that delivers a surprising amount of flavor. From start to finish it keeps the taste buds on alert. Although the body is mild, it is well suited to the aficionado who likes full-bodied cigars. If I compare the price vs. taste vs. quality, I think it is a bit low in price, even though it is round but should have been box-pressed.
