Hope! Perdomo Habano Corojo
Ok, the genuises over at Perdomo are killing the Perdomo La Tradicion Cabinet Reseva Series - bot the SG and the Cameroon (a$$holes). But last night a Brother in need called me over to his house. Seems he bought a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel 10 year old and had no one to share it with. So, I volunteered to help a Brother in his time of need.
I was in a panic, unprepared with nothing to smoke. In route to his casa I slipped in to a local B&M and did a quick scan of the shelves, what's this, they now have Perdomos. The band of the Perdomo Habana Corojo jumped up at me and screamed - TRY ME. So I grabbed it and it's cousin the Maduro (robustos). Wow, this stick looks and smokes great! The band looks good, the draw was spot on and no burn issues. Very smooth and easy on the tounge. Maybe a bit light for smoking with the bourbon, but they went together well. The Maduro might have been a better choice for the bourbon. I really need to smoke this with a tea or water to better understand what I picked up. While Perdomo is killing 2 good lines - the Habano is an excellant and similiar smoking experience. From the write up: Country: Nicaragua Length/Ring: 5 x 52 Shape: Robusto Wrapper: Natural Strength: Full If strength refers to nic - I have to disagree, no where near "full". I definitly give this smoke an 8 without even having given it the proper attention while smoking. BTW, the Evan bottle didn't fight worth a dam... We killed it in about 3.5 hours.... The sales pitch: Perdomo Habano® cigars are the latest masterpiece from Tabacalera Perdomo. Nick Perdomo Jr. has created a special, full-bodied blend using Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in the Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua. 'The beautiful Cuban-seed Corojo and triple-fermented Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers complement this unique filler blend by adding rich, bold flavors with a smooth, satisfying finish', says Nick. And tasting is believing. These must-smoke cigars will enthrall you.

Re: Hope! Perdomo Habano Corojo
To me, the Habano crushes anything from the Reserve or La Tradicion line. I say this as an educated consumer...I've been smoking Perdomos for over 10 years. I like the Habano more than even the ESV and Edicion de Silvio cigars.

Re: Hope! Perdomo Habano Corojo
Well, the Corojo wrapper is one I truly enjoy. I just loaded up on the Gran Habano #5 Corojos - Scored 20 from cbid at a $1 a pop. I do love that site - what a great purchase. In a sense, the Corojo sorta reminds me of the Tats in a spicey way. Off to see what the devil site has in the Habanos....

Haven't had the ESV or Silvio yet, but definitely better than the Reserve or La Tradicion. Love these!

I agree, I've only been smoking them for about 5 years but the Habano is so far my favorite. I am anxious to try the new Patriarch and 10th Anniversary lines as well

Re: Hope! Perdomo Habano Corojo
Every aspect of that cigar is impressive at first glance so I was reluctant to believe it was as good as it looked but it came through for me. I love 'em.
