The verdict
The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Sun Grown 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 Sun Grown (bourbon barrel-aged, Cuban-seed) at 6 x 54 × 54.
On the palate, expect cedar, earth, and almond, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 70 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with black coffee, aged rum, and afternoon. 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 Sun Grown line, a box-pressed 6 x 54 that gives the earthy, spicy blend room to stretch out. It is a full Nicaraguan puro, with a sun-grown wrapper aged six years and then 10 more months in bourbon barrels.
What it tastes like
Medium-full and savory-leaning, it opens with cedar and earth, then layers in toasted almond, a touch of oak, and warm baking spice. There is a quiet sweetness underneath from the barrel aging, but this is the more classically Nicaraguan side of Perdomo's anniversary lineup. The longer toro lets the spice settle into a comfortable, warming groove.
Who it's for
It suits everyday smokers who want a bit more backbone than a Connecticut but nothing punishing. For a shorter version, see the Sun Grown Robusto. To compare Nicaragua's signature style with Cuba's, our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide is a good read, and there are more Perdomo cigars waiting.
