The verdict
The Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maduro Epicure is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Perdomo's Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) toro (epicure) wrapped in Nicaraguan Maduro (bourbon barrel-aged, Cuban-seed) at 6 x 54 × 54.

The Epicure is the toro in Perdomo's Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maduro line, a 6 x 54 that gives this popular blend a longer runway. It is a Nicaraguan puro with tobaccos aged at least six years, finished with a maduro wrapper that takes extra time mellowing inside charred bourbon barrels.
What it tastes like
Medium-full and sweet-leaning, it opens with chocolate and coffee, then layers in brown sugar, cedar, and a soft oak note from the barrels. The longer toro format lets that sweetness build gradually, making the back half especially rich. It is the kind of smooth, dessert-like maduro that has made this line a humidor staple. The burn stays clean and even throughout.
Who it's for
It is a comfortable everyday maduro for a full sit, and approachable for newer smokers easing into darker wrappers. For a shorter version, the Robusto is the same blend.
