Perdomo Golf Birdie (Belicoso)

Kreth · 09-14-2009, 10:44 PM

OK, first off, the full name for this cigar is La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve Limited Golf Edition. The Slow-Aged Lot 826 Maduro is one of my go-to smokes, and I haven't had a bad smoke from Perdomo, so I snagged a 5er of these from cbid to try.

Humidor time: 2 weeks

Prelight: The Connecticut wrapper has a nice reddish color, with minimal veins. Draw is moderate, tasting of coffee and cedar.

Burn: The burn was decent, not razor sharp, but it needed no touch-ups. Ash was nice and solid. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about 95 minutes.

Flavor: This smoke was very creamy. The coffee and cedar combined in a way that reminded me of a vanilla latte, with enough spice to keep things interesting.

Summary: I really enjoyed the flavor of this cigar. They can usually be had on cbid pretty cheap, so I think I'll be picking up some more.

I actually like these for my Golf 'gar when I have them. I agree it is a very creamy smoke, although I did not get coffee, but did have the cedar.

Thanks for the review! I've seen these before and thought about trying one. From your review they sound pretty tasty, I'll have to pick one up next time I see them.

Like Kreth said, these are cheap, especially for a Perdomo. $60ish for box.

Yeah, they're a little more than the Slow-Aged, but I'd consider adding them to my go-to rotation.
