Hope! Perdomo Habano Corojo

[srduggins]

I just smoked one of these (the Toro) and was very impressed as well. I would say it is medium-full, but I'm giving up sugar (again) so that may have played a part in it.

I tried the Gran Habano #5 corojo last night and was less impressed. Just an OK smoke, but I paid $7 for mine. Seems to have more strength than flavor. At a buck a pop I would have been very impressed.

I smoked the Perdomo 10th Anniversary criollo and was blown away. These sticks are selling quickly at my local B&M (now temporarily sold out, thanks to me). This has now become my favorite wrapper. I had a Defiance criollo with similar flavors that faded, but the Perdomo just kept on giving. There doesn't seem to be many cigars with criollo wrappers - what's up with that? I'd love to try some other brands with a criollo wrapper. FWIW, I also tried the 10th anni maduro, but it was hard to judge as I kept comparing it to the criollo. Both smoked well with even burns and lots of smoke.

I just finished 2/3 of the Perdomo Habano Corojo Maduro version and gave it up... Not near as good as the Natural. So no more of them, but I see more of the Perdomo Habano Corojo naturals hitting the humi.

I don't like the maduro either. The corojo wrappered Perdoma has a pleasing taste, while not as strong as "corojo" brings to mind, it is a statisfying cigar

I want to very much love this cigar, I have to try a few more. BUT the two I have tried were not constructed well and burnt horribly. One was plugged to tight at a spot and the other just kept going out. I know all the warnings - i keep my cigars steady at 68 % humidity, I get them out of the humi at least 1 hour before smoking, etc. but still had these problems.

I keep mine at 63% to 655... I don't care for wet smokes

[goldenboy1939]

for some reason my humi just gravitates to this number - I dont mind storing the cigars in it but i do 'drybox' my cigars for at least one hour before smoking. I must say I don't like too 'dry' cigars, I seem to prefer the snap of a decently humid stogie.

I'm still new to cigars and I've been trying very different ones trying to settle into a preference. I picked a couple of these up as they were recommended at my local b&m, I wasn't disappointed at all!

I smoked it in my hottub at 18 degrees farenheit and it burnt very well until the last 1/3 of it. It started to burn down inside, but with all the steam in the air I'm sure the wrapper was getting damp. I also had it in 70% humidity right until I lit it up.

I didn't think it was overbearing, very smooth and creamy taste to me. I paid $6.75 for it and would buy it again without a hesitation. I now need to start looking at the other perdomo cigars and trying them out. It's great being new as there is just so much to try and never a lack of selection!
