Thoughts on Perdomo

[kingcohiba]

This is a brand that I never hear anyone talking about. I absolutely adore their champagne connecticut cigars (but then again I really like connecticut cigars) but haven't tried much else from them. They're a little bit more pricey than others...

Back in the late 90s I can remember buying and enjoying a stick that had a close resemblance to a fuente work of art but other than that I haven't tried anything else. I do have a nice sampler of a few others coming in next week.

Just curious about the opinion of others as they are never talked about. They have a YouTube channel and I binge watched all of their videos and it is really a great channel and seems to be a great company.

I had some hand rolls that Nick did back in the early 2000's that were pretty good from what I can remember, so it's been a while.

I stopped smoking them in the early 2000's. I always thought they used good tobacco but I had construction issues so I gave up. Maybe I should revisit these. Anyone remember the La Tradicion's by Perdomo?

When they were a small factory in Miami they made awesome stuff.  Then came the paintbrush....

Yes. I do. I used to buy them all the time.

I have very little experience with them other than the la tradicions from way back then and their champagne connecticut which I think are. The best connecticut cigars I've smoked. I do have a box of some Maduro small batch line and smoked a single the other day and enjoyed it.

Imo their construction is extremely good these days.

Really though, their YouTube channel is very very informative. Right from seed to loading them up on a semi in Miami.

I remember them back in the day. I think Perdomo had the same issues as CAO and Bahia with changes in the cigar formula and they became mediocre at best.
