Before the Perdomo name was etched into bands, boxes, and humidors around the world, it was inked on flight logs. Nick Perdomo Jr. worked in aviation while he was in the Navy before building one of the most respected cigar houses from the ground up. His son, Nicholas Perdomo III, didn’t just want to honor that story with a limited label and gold foil. He built an entire line around it which included a trio of exceptionally crafted cigars. One of the standouts is the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut.
At the heart of the Legacy line is a leaf you won’t find anywhere else. It’s a remarkable Cuban-seed and Cameroon-seed hybrid grown on Perdomo’s finca Natalie farm in Esteli. That hybrid leaf sets the tone across the series and the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut. It’s earthy, balanced, and full of character thanks to the mineral-rich volcanic soil it’s grown in. The golden-hued Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper sets the stage for the entire profile. The wrapper itself was aged for ten years in bales and then further aged in bourbon barrels to pick up more character and depth.
Inside is the Nicaraguan Shade Grown binder and Cuban-seed Nicaraguan fillers. They work together to bring in a profile that’s delivers rich, creamy notes of cedar, honey, and spice. It’s medium-bodied in strength, but with the structure of something far more aged. This line features five attractive cigars to choose from, which include the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut Robusto 5x54, Epicure 6x54, Churchill 7x54, Gordo 6x60, and the Gran Belicoso 6x60.
This cigar stands out for its well-aged components, grown and handled entirely in-house. The cherry on top is the hybrid tobacco used that brings a new experience for anyone who has ever tried a Perdomo cigar, or anything wrapped in a Connecticut. For anyone looking to explore something different or try something new for the first time, the Legacy line is the perfect choice for you.
