The Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Maduro is one of Perdomo's signature smokes, and a great example of what the brand does best. It is a Nicaraguan puro — every leaf grown on Perdomo's own farms — finished with a six-year-aged maduro wrapper that spends an extra 14 months mellowing in old bourbon barrels. The squared-off box press gives it a clean, modern look.
What it tastes like
This lands at medium-full with a famously dessert-like sweetness: dark cocoa and espresso up front, then brown sugar, rain-soaked oak, and a soft vanilla finish. The bourbon-barrel aging is doing real work here, rounding off any rough edges so the smoke feels rich but never harsh. If you want to understand where it sits, our cigar strength guide helps.
