Perdomo Reserve Champagne

Just a quick review here because I haven't seen this cigar talked about lately and always keep a few on hand for when I want a tasty mild smoke.

The Perdomo Champagne is a Nicaraguan blend wrapped in a Connecticut shade wrapper. I smoked the Epicure, which is a 6 x 54 toro size, and this being the old Champagne comes packaged inside a yellow cellophane.

Why, oh why, has it been as long as it has since I smoked one of these beauties? They are heavy to the feel and constructed wonderfully. Upon initial lighting you will get a quick blast and then this cigar immediately settles into a sweet and creamy, wonderful smoke. The draw is excellent, the ash holds as long as you want it to hold, the burn never needs touching up, and she stays cool all the way to the nub. About halfway in the cigar starts to pick up a little spice on the finish but never becomes overwhelming. Just the right amount of cinnamon to compliment the sweet cream.

One of the tastiest smokes I know of. Now I just need to try some of the smaller sizes. My understanding is that even though the name and labeling of this cigar has changed it is the same exact blend.
