The Sun Grown sits between the mellow Connecticut and the rich Maduro in Perdomo's Double Aged 12 Year Vintage line. It is a Nicaraguan puro that ages 10 years in bales and another two in charred bourbon barrels before it reaches you. This is the slightly thick 5 x 56 Robusto.
What it tastes like
This is a balanced medium smoke with a spicy-sweet character. Cedar and toasted almond lead, joined by oak, an earthy backbone, and a warm note of sweet spice that comes from the long barrel aging. The years of rest are obvious in how smooth and rounded it drinks — there is depth here without weight. The 56 ring keeps the burn cool and even.
Who it's for
It is an everyday Nicaraguan puro for smokers who want polish and a little spice without going full-bodied. Curious how all that aging changes a cigar? Our how long to age cigars guide explains.
