Perdomo Cigars has announced it is re-introducing the Perdomo Inmenso line. Dubbed the Perdomo Inmenso Seventy, it is being released in both a Sun Grown and Maduro blend with three-70 ring gauge formats for each blend.
“The seventy ring gauge Inmenso cigars we made in the early 2000’s were considered enormous back in the day,” states Nick Perdomo, Jr., President, and CEO in a press release. “Today, seventy ring gauge cigars have become more than a trend and are some of the industry’s most popular sizes amongst experienced smokers. There is no denying that the past year presented many challenges to our retailers and consumers, and as a result, we will proudly introduce these premium hand-made cigars at lower than planned price points. These are exceptional cigars I know everyone will truly enjoy.”
The blend of the maduro version is 5-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over 5-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan fillers.
Both blends are available in three sizes: Robusto (5 x 70, SRP $6.25), Epicure (6 x 70, SRP $7.25) REVIEWED TODAY, and Churchill (7 x 70, SRP $8.25). Each of the three sizes are presented in 16-count boxes.
The cigar is dark and huge. It has a very weighty feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were sweet dark chocolate, cedar, quite a bit of nutmeg, and quite a bit of black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7. Very "Perdomo-like" in flavors. Nice start.
At the first third (37 minutes) the flavors haven't changed in flavors, just percentages. The nutmeg has elevated which is hiding the full impact of the maduro notes. They are not quite as pronounced as other Perdomo maduros I've had. The finish is nutmeg and a touch of chocolate with pretty good lingering black pepper. The cigar is medium bodied leaning toward medium to full. I rated the first third 93.
Moving through the second third (1 hour 25 minutes) the chocolate maduro notes came out more. The nutmeg dropped back to a more manageable amount. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish has more chocolate with nutmeg and better lingering black pepper. I raised the score to 94.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 55 minutes. In the final third nothing changed. I had the same nice sweet maduro notes, light cedar, brown sugar, nutmeg, and black coffee. The cigar is now full bodied. The finish is dark chocolate, brown sugar, and nutmeg with nice lingering black pepper. I held the score of 94 for the final third. I'm not really into 70 ring cigars but if you want to try a good one this is it.
