Tasting notes
The Perdomo Fresco Connecticut Churchill, measuring 177.8 mm (7") in length and 19.8 mm (¾") in diameter, features a light, smooth, and beautifully rolled wrapper. The ash reveals a lovely gray hue and a pleasant texture, showcasing quality craftsmanship. The overall presentation is eye-catching, with its boldly designed band, though somewhat debatable, adding a touch of modernity.
From the first contact, the cigar offers a rich and complex olfactory bouquet. Pre-light, it exudes notes of hazelnut and wood, accompanied by a subtle sweetness. Upon lighting, the aromas evolve into a blend of coffee and slight floral nuances, bringing balance to the whole. The ignition is promising, creating anticipation for the remainder of the tasting.
On the palate, this cigar develops harmoniously across its three thirds. Initially, it is expressive, with flavors of hazelnut and a gentle astringency. As it progresses, the palate is enriched with hints of fruit and vanilla, further enhancing the complexity of the experience. The progression remains fluid without becoming monotonous, sustained by an easy draw that allows for a pleasant inhalation.
The finish of this Perdomo is marked by a medium length and a final mouthfeel that combines a slight bitterness with residual sweetness. The balance between strength and delicate nuances reveals a cigar with a unique personality, subtly appealing to both cigar aficionados and a broader audience seeking an experience at an affordable price.
Ideal for an evening tasting, this cigar pairs wonderfully with a glass of whisky or a robust black coffee, offering a delightful synergy around the richness of the aromas.
