Guest Quick Smoke: Perdomo Habano Maduro Toro
7 Oct 2007
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.

Nice review. I enjoy the 23 Maduros so I'll definitely have to give this one a try.
I had the robusto version of this cigar recently. It was very tasty. It burned slightly uneven but I think that was more my fault and it corrected easy. I just picked up the corojo wrapper version and am waiting to try it out.
Picked up one of these this past weekend at Georgetown Tobacco when we were in DC this past weekend. Smoked it last night during the game and LOVED it – nice draw, smooth flavor, love the big ring gauge too. It actually made watch my Seminoles’ horrific offensive performance last night a little easier to stomach.
