Cigar Review: Perdomo Small Batch Maduro Toro Especial 2005

Initial Thoughts:

In general, I like Perdomo Cigars. For the most part, Nick Perdomo has done a great job blending high-quality, delicious cigars at respectable prices. So, when I found the Perdomo Small Batch 2005 Maduro Toro Especial on sale, I took a risk and bought a 5-pack.

The Perdomo Small Batch 2005 Maduro is a medium length, slightly chubby cigar with a dark, oily wrapper. It smells faintly of the Buffalo Trace whiskey Perdomo uses to cure the barrels they use for aging all of their filler tobacco. The first flavors are sweet and rich, and I'm very excited to enjoy this cigar.
