At first, when the bright yellow cellophane wrapper of the Perdomo Champagne cigar is removed, one immediately notices its flawless appearance. Considering that it is a Connecticut wrapper, the cigar is very light, almost orange in color. The wrapper is smooth and silky, with a gold-black label reminiscent of the color of champagne. The cigar is extremely firm to the touch, with no discernible soft spots, which indicates superior craftsmanship. The wrapper scent reveals subtle sweet notes with hints of cedar, and the cool draw reveals the same but superficial fruity notes.

When first lit, the cigar has a creamy taste, after which a sweet note dominates with hints of vanilla and the already mentioned cedar. There is a slight peppery flavor on the retrohale, which adds a layer of complexity without overwhelming the palate. The smoke draw is perfect—neither too loose nor too tight—and the burn is precise, producing solid white ash. The first fall of ash is after approx. 30 minutes.

As we slowly move into the second third, the flavors begin to develop further. The sweetness is still present. The pepper of the first third calms down, allowing a more pronounced earthiness to come through. The creamy texture remains consistent, creating a pleasant mouthfeel with each smoke. The smoke is rich and aromatic, filling the air with a pleasant mix of cedar and sweet spices.

In the last third, Perdomo Champagne becomes more intense. The creamy sweetness transitions into a deeper, slightly more robust and peppery profile. Earthy skin tones emerge, along with very subtle roasted coffee flavors. The pepper returns but remains well balanced, enhancing the overall experience rather than overpowering it. The cigar finishes strong, with the perfect balance between its creamy beginnings and the richer, more complex flavors that have developed through smoking.

In short, the Perdomo Champagne 10th Anniversary is a masterfully crafted cigar that offers a well-balanced smoking experience. From its creamy, sweet beginnings to its complex finish, this cigar creates a satisfying experience. The construction of the cigar is flawless, with a perfect burn and draw from start to finish.
