The Epicure is the toro in Perdomo's Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Sun Grown line, a 6 x 54 that gives the spicy blend extra room to develop. It is a Nicaraguan puro with everything aged at least six years, finished with a sun-grown wrapper that mellows further inside charred bourbon barrels.
What it tastes like
Medium-full and savory-leaning, it opens with cedar and oak, then brings in toasted almond, earth, and a measured pepper note. The longer toro lets the spice settle into a warm, steady groove, with a soft barrel-driven sweetness underneath keeping it balanced. It is the kind of well-behaved Nicaraguan smoke you can reach for any day of the week.
Who it's for
It suits everyday smokers who want more backbone than a Connecticut but nothing punishing. For a shorter version, the Sun Grown Robusto is the same blend. To compare Nicaragua's style with Cuba's, our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide is a good read, and there are more Perdomo cigars to browse.
Pair it with black coffee in the afternoon, then log it in the Casa DNC app.
