Perdomo Champagne Noir

Earlier this year, Perdomo Cigars unveiled the Perdomo Reserve Champagne Noir.  This is a blend variation of the popular 10th Anniversary line.    This was definitely a stronger cigar in terms of strength and body than the original Perdomo Champagne.  The initial release was released in a personal favorite size vitola – a 6 x 60 “Super Toro”.   This year at the 2011 IPCPR, additional vitolas were unveiled to help complete the blend’s line.

When I reviewed the Super Toro version of this cigar back in May, I was very pleased with the complexity, strength, and body that this cigar brought to the table.  While I realize there are not a lot of 6 x 60 fans, the announcement of the new vitolas should please many people.

Blend Profile

Just a little recap on the blend profile.  The Perdomo Champagne Noir is an all-Nicaraguan Puro.  The distinguishing factor is the Maduro wrapper.  In the press release, Nick Perdomo describes the triple fermented wrapper by stating: “After carefully fermenting these thick Cuban‐seed Maduro wrappers for well over 14 months in a natural pilon, we age them an additional 6 months in oak bourbon barrels.”

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Cuban-seed Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
