The verdict
The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Maduro Epicure is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Perdomo's Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) toro (epicure, box-pressed) wrapped in Nicaraguan Maduro (bourbon barrel-aged, Cuban-seed) at 6 x 54 × 54.
On the palate, expect dark cocoa, sweet coffee, and milk chocolate, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 70 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and after dinner. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Epicure is the toro in Perdomo's Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Maduro line, a box-pressed 6 x 54 that gives the blend more time to open up. Like the rest of the line it is a true Nicaraguan puro under a maduro wrapper aged six years and then a further 14 months in bourbon barrels.
What it tastes like
This is a medium-full, sweet-leaning maduro: dark cocoa and sweet coffee lead, with milk chocolate, brown sugar, and a rain-soaked oak note carrying the finish. The longer toro format lets that bourbon-barrel sweetness build gradually, which makes it feel almost like a dessert in cigar form. Construction is classic Perdomo — dead-even burn, firm ash.
Who it's for
It is an easy everyday pick for anyone who likes a sweeter, polished maduro, and the toro size suits a full hour. If you want the same blend shorter, try the Robusto.
