Tabacalera Perdomo
The other day, Albert Argenti from Perdomo Cigars stopped by to pay a visit. Perdomo is a cigar I've never carried and, frankly, didn't know much about. I've had people ask for them from time to time and I've seen them in the industry magazines, but I'd never had one. Al is a good guy. He's from Miami and took his time going over the Perdomo line with me and left me a big bunch of sample cigars which always endears me to a salesman.
I've been smoking the Perdomo Reserves - the Cameroon and new Champagne line they just came out with at the RTDA show in August. I like them. I found them to be mild- to medium-bodied, though their literature and press touts them as being more medium to full. Taste is subjective.
Tabacalera Perdomo, based in Miami with production in Esteli, Nicaragua, is a closely held, family run business which began making cigars three generations ago in Cuba. You won't find these cigars at discounters on the web or in catalogs, which is a big selling point for me. I'm thinking of adding this line to the humidor, though it will more than likely be at the beginning of next year, after the holidays. For the next couple of months I'll have the RTDA show specials rolling in and this will take up all the space I have on my shelves. But look for these and I'll let you know when they come in.
