Cigar Review: Perdomo Gran Cru Maduro
By Jesse | August 4, 2009 |
Alright, you’ve probably noticed my reviews have been getting a bit shorter lately. I’m trying to find a good balance between detail and length.
I’ve smoked all of the available sizes over the past few weeks in both the maduro and natural wrappers. The Gran Cru is a Nicaraguan Puro from Perdomo’s 2004 crop.
Attractive cigar with a chocolate color and oily sheen on the wrapper. It has a good weight and firmness. Definitely a full bodied smoke with dominant chocolate and coffee flavors. There is some cayenne like heat in it too, but doesn’t overpower the sweet maduro/chocolate flavor. Fairly intense, bold flavors that doesn’t leave you guessing.
Verdict: I’ve smoked about six, and will probably drop some money on a box purchase or two in the future. The robusto is my favorite size. All sticks were purchased at The Party Source.

Perdomo is one of my favorite line of cigars, from your review this one I definitely have to try – always love the darker blend of cigars. When I get my hands on one, I’ll holler back what I thought.

I stopped in at the Perdomo shop off of the Palmetto in Miami on a whim as I had never smoked their cigars before and spotted their shop by accident. I bought six cigars and was offered a Gran Cru Robusto Natural gratis. I smoked it and really enjoyed it and I expect that I will buy a box.
