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 cigars are scheduled to ship to retailers in May, 2021.
“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 Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Sun Grown blend features a 5-year aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan Sun Grown 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, as with the maduro version, is huge and has a very dense feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors at light up were a nice citrus/cedar, brown sugar, light leather, nutmeg, and a light black coffee base. There was black pepper rated at 7. Very nice flavors at light up and very typical of Perdomo Sun Grown's.
At the first third (49 minutes) the ash was still intact. The citrus/cedar has dropped a bit while the nutmeg has increased a little and it's now a creamy nutmeg. There is still light leather and a black coffee base. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish has a little influence from the citrus/cedar and nutmeg and average or a little better lingering black pepper. The cigar is good and reminds me a lot of other Perdomo Sun Grown's. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour 34 minutes) the nutmeg and leather are coming out more. The sweeter notes are downplayed because of it. The cigar is now medium bodied leaning toward medium to full. The finish is nutmeg and leather with nice lingering black pepper. The cigar took a little turn downward. I lowered the score to 91.
The cigar lasted an amazing 2 hours 14 minutes. There was a burn issue in the final third that needing touching up but not major. The cigar stayed on the same path with the nutmeg continuing to rise. The leather stayed at it's elevated stage while the sweeter notes struggled to stay in play. The cigar is now medium to full bodied leaning toward full. The finish is leather and nutmeg with a little sweetness and improved lingering black pepper. The cigar started off quite nice but lost a little as it went along. I rated the final third 89.
