Initial Thoughts

The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel Aged Maduro is a pretty dark cigar with an almost gray tone to it. The filler at the foot looked like a nice blend of light and darker tobacco.

On the cold draw, the flavors were of wood. Once lit, the draw was a little tight, but it quickly opened up, and the flavors of leather and wood were smooth and pleasant.
