The verdict
The Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Epicure is approachable and beginner-friendly from Perdomo's Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) toro (epicure) wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut (bourbon barrel-aged) at 6 x 54 × 54.
On the palate, expect cream, butterscotch, and white chocolate, leaning creamy. Plan on roughly 70 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee with cream, sparkling wine, and brunch. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
The Epicure is the toro in Perdomo's 10th Anniversary Champagne line, stretching the blend to a relaxed 6 x 54. It wears the same butterscotch-gold Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that Perdomo ages in retired bourbon barrels, over a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler.
What it tastes like
Expect a mild-to-medium smoke built around cream and sweetness: butterscotch and white chocolate lead, with toasted nuts and soft cedar filling in behind. The extra length of the toro gives it more time to settle into a smooth, even groove, and the white-pepper spice stays polite throughout. It is the definition of an easygoing cigar.
Who it's for
