Bourbon and cigars belong together, and Nick Perdomo took the obvious next step — ageing the tobacco itself in bourbon barrels before it is ever rolled.
This is the Connecticut expression, the mildest of the three. Creamy and cedary with a warm sweetness underneath that only the barrel could put there. Five sizes, robusto to gordo.
Wrapper: Connecticut shade
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler, bourbon-barrel aged
Strength: Mild to medium
Sizes: Robusto (5.0" x 54), Epicure (6.0" x 54), Torpedo (6.5" x 54), Churchill (7.0" x 54), Gordo (6.0" x 60)
Start here if you are new to barrel-aged cigars. The effect is clearest against a mild blend.
