Perdomo Reserve Champagne Robusto Review

[SIZE=3]Perdomo Reserve Champagne [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Specs:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Size: Robusto 5 X 54[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Wrapper: Connecticut[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Country: Nicaragua[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Review:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Construction: Excellent[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Burn: Excellent[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Draw: Good[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Strength: Mild[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Flavor: Good[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I may have been over excited about this one. It might get better with age. I hate to throw Perdomo under the bus because I’ve had quite a few great Perdomo cigars. Here’s the but…[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I was expecting the buttery, nutty and super smooth sensation that accompanies some of the best sticks in this wrapper and it just never developed. Yeah it was a little nutty, and it wasn’t harsh but it wasn’t well balanced or complex either. Not a bad smoke but I expected more.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]To contrast my review here is what Tabacalero Perdomo says:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]From [/SIZE][SIZE=3]http://www.perdomocigars.com/perdomoreserve.html[/SIZE][SIZE=3] “Champagne: The gold label is a limited, seasonal release with a golden U.S. Connecticut shade wrapper over six years lending a mild, smooth creamy cigar smoking experience”[/SIZE]
