In addition to the Perdomo’s Champagne Noir line, Nick Perdomo and team launched another line of cigars at the 2011 IPCPR – the Perdomo Exhibicion series.

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.
