The verdict
The Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robusto is a balanced, medium-bodied smoke from Perdomo's Lot 23 line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) robusto wrapped in Nicaraguan Maduro (Cuban-seed) at 5 x 50 × 50.
On the palate, expect cocoa, coffee, and cedar, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, porter, and after a meal. If you're newer to cigars, this is a safe, enjoyable pick.
Lot 23 Maduro takes Perdomo's single-farm blend and swaps in a dark, five-year-aged Nicaraguan maduro wrapper. Like the rest of the line, it is a Nicaraguan puro grown on the Lot 23 plot in Estelí, with everything aged at least five years before rolling. This is the classic 5 x 50 Robusto.
What it tastes like
The maduro wrapper nudges it toward sweeter, darker flavors: cocoa and coffee up front, then cedar, a little brown sugar, and a gentle black-pepper spice on the finish. It still drinks at an approachable medium rather than full, so you get maduro sweetness without a heavy hit. That balance, plus the famously clean Perdomo burn, makes it an easy everyday choice.
Who it's for
It is a friendly entry point to maduro for newer smokers, and a reliable daily cigar for everyone else. Want to know why the dark wrapper tastes sweeter? Read our maduro vs Connecticut guide. The Sun Grown is the same size with a natural wrapper, and there are more Perdomo cigars to explore.
