The Perdomo2 uses a blend of Cuban-seed
tobaccos grown in the highly fertile region of Esteli, Nicaragua. The filler and binder
crop have been specially aged since 1994 and the rich, genuine Cameroon wrapper is
subjected to two fermentation periods. The Perdomo2 is then box-aged for 12
months before shipment to retailers is permitted. The Perdomo2 is packed with
rich, spicy and complex flavors delivering heavy Cuban overtones with a sweet, earthy
aroma. This cigar collection is available in five unique sizes. All five sizes are
box-pressed in the tradition of pre-embargo Cuba and carefully packaged in royal mahogany
boxes of 24 lined in aromatic Spanish cedar. Production of the first generation of Perdomo2
has been limited to 300,000 cigars.
