Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure

The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure is a luxurious, mild-to-medium-bodied cigar hand-rolled in Nicaragua. Measuring 6" × 56, this Epicure features a silky, eight-year-old Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that is then bourbon-barrel-aged for a further eight months — a signature Perdomo touch. Beneath it sits a blend of higher-priming Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler, also aged at least eight years. The result is a creamy, smooth and elegantly constructed cigar with a consistent burn — ideal for seasoned aficionados and newcomers alike seeking a refined, approachable smoke.

Tasting Notes of the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure

A creamy, smooth, mild-to-medium cigar of real elegance.

- Final Third: Intensifies slightly with more pronounced wood, subtle pepper and lingering creaminess; a clean, satisfying, elegant finish with sweetness persisting on the retrohale.

Fun Facts About the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure

The Connecticut wrapper is aged eight years and then bourbon-barrel-aged for a further eight months — an unusual, signature Perdomo technique that lends the cigar extra smoothness and a subtle sweet complexity.

Perdomo is fully vertically integrated — the family controls everything from growing the seed to boxing the finished cigar — which is the secret behind the line’s famous consistency.

The 20th Anniversary line launched in 2012 to mark two decades of the brand; the Connecticut is its mild-to-medium expression, sitting alongside the darker, bolder Maduro version.
