Quick Smoke: Perdomo Patriarch Maduro Epicure

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

Another Perdomo, another satisfying smoke. This dark, oily Nicaraguan puro produces a classic maduro smoke. The mixture of sweetness, cocoa, and roasted coffee is smoothly blended for a medium strength cigar. The six inch by 50 ring gauge Epicure runs a little under $7, which may be a tad high. But if you’re a maduro fan, give it a try.

Verdict = Buy.
