Perdomo de Silvio Torpedo

Nicaraguan

Natural

6" - 54 ring

Served with a Johnny Walker Red on the Rocks, the cigar was a creamy light brown color. The wrapper was oily and smooth with minimal veins. The binder was a walnut color and the filler was an oak streaked with pecan coloring.

Pre-light draw: straw with a bitter sweetness

Light: Cedar and leather flavor, light and smooth.

First third: A more developed and complex flavor evolves pine nuts, cinnamon, and other spice flavors.

Second third: A richer flavor toasted walnuts, pepper, wheat, and barley has emerged.

Final third: Roasted peanut flavor dry and hot but smooth with little to no harshness.

Summary: I nubbed the cigar to the end and it was extremely well paired with the sharpness of the Johnny Walker Red. The total smoke time was an hour and 20 minutes. The burn was even but not razor, the draw and construction was perfect. The medium richness of the cigar allowed for depth and complexity that changed throughout the smoking experiance.

Grade: 8 out of 10
