Cigar Journal’s Top 25: Cigar Of The Year 2021

Today we are unveiling our Cigar Of The Year 2021.

#1 | Perdomo Reserve 10^th Anniversary Box-Pressed Epicure Maduro 

Originally celebrating Perdomo’s 10^th anniversary, the Perdomo Reserve brand was updated with box-pressed Sun Grown and Maduro cigars. The Epicure Maduro is a box-pressed Toro (6 x 54) sized cigar wrapped in a Nicaraguan maduro leaf which has gone through a secondary fermentation, enjoying 14 months in ex-bourbon barrels. Six-year-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos are featured throughout the blend.

Tasting notes:

This cigar starts with cocoa, roasted notes of espresso, spices, caramel sweetness, and a pinch of pepper. Its smoke is soft and smooth on the palate. A hint of fresh mint comes up before the cigar presents a great finale.
