Description
Award-winning Maduro with serious flavor—and an exceptional price. The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Epicure Maduro earned Cigar Journal's No. 1 Cigar of the Year for 2021, and it remains one of Perdomo's standout blends.
This 6 x 54 Epicure is a 100% Nicaraguan puro featuring a dark Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The tobaccos are aged for six years, while the wrapper receives an additional 14 months of ex-bourbon barrel aging for added depth and sweetness.
Flavor profile: Rich cocoa and espresso lead the way, followed by roasted notes, spice, caramel sweetness, pepper, and subtle cedar. The smoke is smooth and creamy, with a lingering chocolate-and-coffee character.
Why it stands out: Cigar Journal rated the Maduro Epicure 93 points and named it the top cigar of 2021. The combination of long-aged Nicaraguan tobacco, bourbon-barrel-aged Maduro wrapper, and box-pressed construction gives this cigar considerably more character than its approachable price suggests.
Stogies Says: This is one of our strongest value recommendations. If you want a proven, award-winning Maduro with cocoa, espresso, sweetness, and spice without spending $20+, this is the stick to grab.
