Nick Perdomo of Perdomo Cigars has been in the business for more than three decades. Although the company’s 30th anniversary was in 2022, the Perdomo 30th Anniversary Sun Grown brand didn’t come out until late 2023. When we put the entire line through our blind tastings, it ushered in a new era of high scores for Perdomo, but the Epicure size was the true standout. Perdomo says the wrapper of this all-Nicaraguan cigar was aged in Bourbon barrels and the tobacco in the blend was 15 years old before rolling. Oak certainly factors into the taste of this cigar, which also shows notes of leather, caramel and nougat.
