Samuel Spurr from Inlumino has just written this terrific review of the Perdomo Grand Cru!

The Grand Cru’s band states that the tobacco used is from the crop of 2004 – some serious ageing right there! Its smell at cold reminds me of my grandfathers loose ‘Drum’ brand tobacco used for his roll our own cigarettes, reviving a nice memory of my late grandfather who would spend afternoons on his back porch smoking his rollies while tending to the BBQ.

The pre-light draw is perfect and exhibits a light mocha flavour. Thick lush smoke with a tinge of yellow is the first observable trait upon lighting the Perdomo up – a sight I’ve not seen since enjoying a Camacho Liberty 2008 with Joel of LeoJay Photography fame.

The Perdomo begins with an almond and honey roasted nut flavour. There is very little spice or pepper evident. A perfect draw and very smooth taste gives indications that this cigar will be a finger burner. My wife Kos, an occasional smoker has a puff and duly notes the honey flavour and states that ‘it is a very nice cigar’ – not sure how much validity that statement has, but she immediately asks for another puff – it must be nice! The nut flavour continues throughout the cigar. A very mellow cigar that only changes direction slightly with some spice in the palate as the cigar closes.

The Grand Cru is definitely a sundowner cigar for after a hard day of work or play. Don’t expect to be in rush to do much after this one as it frames your mind for one more sip of your drink and then an early evening kip.

Another 10th Anniversary review, this one for the Maduro and posted by casasfumando.com.

Final Thoughts:
I’ve enjoyed a fair share of this wonderful cigar and I think this particular vitola doesn’t do the blend justice. The robusto I had of the same blend was much more enjoyable and had no burn issues at all. The Champagne is also an excellent choice. One thing that has never failed me with these cigars is their consistent burn and construction. They are dead on with every cigar and I never have to pay any extra attention, I get to enjoy them effortlessly. I would definitely recommend this cigar to anyone, it would even work well as a cigar to gift a new cigar smoker. For those that smoke a few sticks per day, this one would work well as a morning or afternoon cigar and can easily be enjoyed in the evenings as well.

Rino Breebaart has posted a review of the Perdomo Criollo 10th Anniversary Figurado over at his Slow Review blog.

The best essence of this one lies halfway. Which makes me think this Perdo is one you smoke when you don’t want the hour-plus commitment of the fuller sizes — this criollo isn’t about maximum sensation and triumph, but more the in-between moments when you’re on your way to something. But that incredible, almost rolling smoothness persists for the full 45 min. It’s not the triumphant finish to a great day, but a smoke you can sneak in around lunchtime with an eye to the big one later at night. An early afternoon cigar. The second half — when the buzz has built and matured without quite sending tingles to your fingertips — this is where this cigar lives and breathes. So that if you have to be back before some clock-watching authority figure gets the jitters about your extended break, you’ll still have packed in a decent smoke.

Thanks Rino!

Another great Perdomo review, this time from Tiny Tim’s Cigar World:

Perdomo Grand Cru Habano churchill (7×50)

This cigar starts off with fantastic citrus and cinnamon spice with great pepper! Rich flavor. The finish has a creamy vanilla flavor that is very long and satisfying. The citrus works well with the spice. At midpoint nothing had changed. In the latter stages the citrus notes become more prominent. Very good cigar.

Score: 92

Enjoyed my first Perdomo as part of their VIP program (really nice, smooth aroma and quite a sweet taste. I feel like I need to refine my cigar taste descriptors to match those of coffee and wine) –

Perdomo has a winner on their hands with its Habano line. A fair price for an awesome cigar; what more can you ask for? This cigar is a staple in my humidor and is one of my favorite Madurowrapped cigars. The band is a bit ridiculous in size but I can get over that real quick when you give me acigar with nice rich flavors such as this cigar. I highly recommend this cigar to anyone who wants a nice richMaduro cigar that won’t break the bank.
