Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Cigars

Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Connecticut Epicure 6 × 56 PEDCE Skillfully aged in bales for 10 years and aged again for an additional 2 years in oak bourbon barrels, the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage Connecticut Epicure cigars will overwhelm your taste buds with their delectable flavors.

From the house of Perdomo comes a new release for 2014, the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage. This new blend release will be available in three wrapper blends, a Connecticut Shade, a Sun Grown, and a Maduro version with Nicaraguan fillers. The cigars are made using tobaccos from a 2001 / 2002 vintage crop, then aged in bales for 10 years followed by an additional 2 years aged in wood barrels. The result is a medium bodied smoke that smooth and well balanced in all wrapper styles, the Sun Grown and Maduro wrappers add a bit more spice or earthiness, while the Connecticut delivers creamy flavors. The cigars are available in 4 sizes in boxes of 24 cigars. The cigars will be made in limited quantities and will only be released to 250 of the finest tobacconists world-wide.

In 2001, Britney Spears was #1 on the billboard charts, Enron filed for bankruptcy, and the nasty combination of Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson led the Arizona Diamondbacks to the World Series. Just when I thought 2001 was a thing of the past, Perdomo Double Aged 12-Year Vintage came across my desk. Nick has outdone himself this time around, shelling out three separate blends that each lay claim to 12-year-old, exquisitely fermented tobacco leaves. Dressed in Connecticut, Sun Grown, and Maduro wrappers, Double Aged 12-Year Vintage has a selection for every cigar lover out there. All of the tobaccos in each blend – wrapper, binder, and filler – go through an extensive “double aging” process. They are bale-aged for ten long years before moving on to barrel-aging in charred, white oak bourbon barrels for the next two years, resulting in a refined product that’s brimming with flavor. This process ensures that the crop from 2001 has impeccable color, texture, aroma, and flavor.
