A Legacy of Labor, Finished in Flame
The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro is the culmination of patience, precision, and pride. Built to celebrate a decade of excellence in Perdomo’s Reserve line, this cigar isn’t just commemorative—it’s transformative. What begins as Nicaraguan leaf from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa is aged six years and then rests an additional 14 months in bourbon barrels. Not for flavoring, but for finish. That final step softens the edges and draws the richness to the forefront.
From the first light, the aroma of toasted oak and espresso rise like the hush before a toast. The smoke is dense and silken, offering waves of cocoa and molasses layered over earth and black pepper. This is strength refined—not brute force, but authority earned. The box-pressed format heightens the slow, even burn, giving you the full story in controlled, deliberate chapters.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Cocoa, espresso, and charred oak dominate, balanced by black pepper and a slight bourbon sweetness.
Second Third: Molasses and roasted nuts unfold, backed by rich earth and the signature Perdomo spice.
Final Third: Leather and sweet oak rise up as strength crescendos; long finish with lingering dark chocolate and pepper warmth.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Few cigars embody the power of discipline and legacy like this one. The 10th Anniversary Maduro is Nick Perdomo’s love letter to craftsmanship, family, and Nicaragua itself. Every leaf is grown, aged, and rolled under one roof—a rarity in today’s cigar world. It’s a control over quality that’s obsessive, and the result is a cigar that speaks fluently in flavor and form. In Privada, we honor stories built leaf by leaf—and Perdomo’s story is carved into every press of this box.
