Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Connecticut Churchill opens with a medium-bodied profile, offering creamy vanilla, toasted oak, and mild caramel notes layered over a soft, earthy foundation. Early draws reveal subtle white pepper, light honeyed sweetness, and hints of almond, while the retrohale introduces gentle spice, soft leather, and delicate floral undertones that enhance complexity without overwhelming the palate. As the smoke develops into the midsection, flavors of milk chocolate, roasted pecans, and a touch of butterscotch emerge, wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture that balances the mild spice and highlights the nuanced influence of the bourbon barrel-aging process. The final third evolves with charred oak, lingering caramel, and faint nutmeg, leaving a long, satisfying finish that gradually mellows while maintaining gentle warmth.

The burn line remains straight and consistent, while the ash forms firm, light-gray columns that hold well.
