Guest Quick Smoke: Perdomo Habano Maduro Toro

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar. The following is a Guest Quick Smoke, submitted by a StogieGuys.com reader for our Quick Smoke Cigar Giveaway contest. If you’d like to submit your own for publication, please contact us.

The Perdomo Habano Maduro Toro is a big, beautiful cigar at 5 1/2 inches with a 54 ring gauge. It is dark and oily with a very attractive label, and a pleasure to smoke from beginning to end. It smelled great before I lit it and it just got better. This smoke is a bit deceptive; it looks like it should be a spicy flavor bomb. But it isn’t – and that is a good thing. It is full-bodied and full-flavored, but mild to medium in strength. Creamy with deep rich but subtle flavors of dark cocoa and coffee, the Habana Maduro Toro is a smoother, mellower, sweeter version of the Lot 23 Maduro.

Verdict = Buy.
