Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro Torpedo 7" * 54

The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro was created to mark this popular premium cigar’s decade of satisfying the palates of cigar enthusiasts. It is a medium to full-bodied cigar that is hand crafted at the Tabacalera Perdomo factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Its oily Cuban-seed Nicaraguan maduro wrapper has been carefully aged for 6 years and allowed to mellow in a bourbon barrel for an additional 10 months. The wrapper is then expertly placed over a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler, which has been aged for 6 years. Perdomo cigars are highly regarded for their consistency and taste.

The Torpedo was traditionally a fat cigar with two closed, tapered ends. Today, it is any cigar with a cut foot and straight body which tapers to a closed, pointed head.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

This cigar is 7 inches long, or 177.8 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 54, so his diameter is 54/64 inches or 21.34 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
