Story & Accolades

Released in celebration of Perdomo’s 20 years of cigar-making excellence, the Connecticut blend features meticulously aged Nicaraguan tobaccos selected for their balance and smoothness. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper receives extended bourbon-barrel fermentation, heightening sweetness, creaminess, and overall refinement. The Gordo size enhances the blend’s mellow, creamy character over an extended smoking journey.

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: Cream ale or lightly malted pilsner.
