The verdict
The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Sun Grown Robusto is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Perdomo's Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) robusto (box-pressed) wrapped in Nicaraguan Sun Grown (bourbon barrel-aged, Cuban-seed) at 5 x 54 × 54.
On the palate, expect cedar, earth, and almond, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 60 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 Sun Grown is the spicier sibling in Perdomo's Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed line. Where the maduro goes sweet, this 5 x 54 box-pressed Robusto leans earthy and savory. It is a Nicaraguan puro under a six-year-aged sun-grown wrapper that gets an extra 10 months in old bourbon barrels.
What it tastes like
This is a medium-full smoke with a spicy-sweet character: cedar and earth lead, with toasted almond, baking spice, and a hint of caramel sweetness from the barrel aging. The sun-grown wrapper gives it more of a classic Nicaraguan backbone than the creamy Champagne line, but it stays smooth and balanced rather than aggressive. The box press and tidy burn are signature Perdomo.
Who it's for
It is a versatile everyday cigar for smokers who like a little spice with their sweetness. If you prefer the dessert side, the Maduro Robusto is the same size in a sweeter wrapper.
