He starts off by complimenting the appearance:

“The cigar is wrapped in a dark, almost black, maduro leaf. The wrapper is so dark that I can barely see the small veins in the leaf. There’s an oily sheen that’s clearly visible in the sunlight, and gives a smooth appearance. The wrapper has a texture of velvet or crushed felt, and is very pleasing. The cigar is densely packed, and offers no soft spots. Bringing the cigar up to my nose I pick up sweet earthy tones, floral notes, and a slight hint of sweet herbs. All in all, it’s a very pleasing cigar to every sense, and shows quite a bit of promise.”

In his summary, he writes:

“Overall I’m quite pleased with this cigar. The presentation of the cigar is quite nice, with a wonderful dark wrapper and a band that adds to the attractive looks. The cigar burned slowly and evenly, and produced cool smooth smoke. The slow burn helped the cigar last me roughly two hours, which was great because the flavors were very enjoyable.”

Thanks for the review, Jon!

The impact of the flooding will likely require us to adapt to a “new normal” for the foreseeable future. One way we can help make life more pleasant for all is to provide non-members with a one-day special admission to the club. 

Throughout this period, non-members can have entry into the club by purchasing a daily Special Access Pass for a nominal charitable donation of 1500 baht. Included in this daily admission, non-members will receive their first cigar and drink on the house, and for non-cigar smokers, they will receive two drinks on the house. It should be noted that Club Perdomo will apply 100% of the daily Special Access Pass fee to charitable aid for flood victims.

We hope this effort from Club Perdomo can help restore balance and harmony during this stressful and debilitating crisis.

I’ve really become a fan of pairing the ESV Sun Grown with a peaty single malt…. a Laphroaig or a Caol Ila or a Talisker. It really seems to compliment them quite well.

I believe Nick Perdomo has outdone himself with the Lot 23.  The tobacco in this stick is specially grown in Nicaragua on a field called Lot 23…thus the name.  This field was cultivated in 2000 and six years later Perdomo and his team masterfully blended these tobaccos to create the unique premium cigar, Perdomo Lot 23.

 The veiny, dark brown wrapper is leathery to the touch and expertly constructed.  Along with the spicy notes, the broadleaf wrapper provides some sweetness.  The cigar is a bit peppery in the beginning but nicely transitions to a smooth, sweet offering creating a robust but pleasant taste and experience.  The Perdomo Lot 23 produces a firm white ash and a solid burn line.

In summary, the Perdomo Lot 23 possesses great construction, quality and overall value.  It was a privilege to smoke the Lot 23. I enjoyed it thoroughly and know you will too.

Jason and Cameron from our very successful sister company Perdomo Cigars Australia have agreed to take over the online distribution side of the business which means that as of today, they will be handling all orders and shipping of Perdomo Cigars to our valued Asian clients! If you order from our new online store, Jason and Cameron will pack and ship to you usually within 24 hours. They will use a variety of shipping services to ensure your cigars are delivered between 3 and 7 business days to anywhere in Asia. Cigars are packed in boxes filled with polystyrene foam to protect them from damage. Each box contains a humidipak to keep them humid during their journey. Finally, each box is wrapped in bubblewrap to protect it from damage.

This is a place for Perdomo fans from around the world to ask questions, share reviews, photos, videos, and to chat with other global Perdomo fans.

We’ll also be using the forum to post official Perdomo news (for example, we just put Volume 1 of the official newsletter from Perdomo USA) and announce new products.

Thanks, Smoking Cigar Girl!

Here’s the quote:

AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi is a reasonable chap. All he asks for from life is a room full of scantily clad Italian waitresses whenever it suits, an emergency hotline through to the Milanese hairplug clinic, the legal age of consent to be lowered by a couple of rungs, an endless supply of ridiculously expensive Perdomo cigars and Brunello di Montalcino red wine, the odd bunga bunga party here and there…and for Cristiano Ronaldo to join him at the San Siro – if reports in the Italian press are to be believed.

As far as we know there isn’t an official distributor in Italy yet, so they probably expensive because poor Silvio has to import them from the USA or Russia. Fortunately, Perdomo cigars aren’t “ridiculously expensive” in Australia – we’ve deliberately priced our cigars well below comparable Cubans and other non-Cuban brands.

But  - if the article is true – it means that Mr Berlusconi, a man who can afford any cigar in the world, chooses to smoke Perdomo. He’s obviously a man of excellent taste. Perhaps it’s because he shares his first name with Silvio Perdomo, our founder’s father, who also lends his name to our Edicion de Silvio blend? Perhaps that’s what Mr B likes to smoke.
