Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Connecticut Epicure 6" * 56

The tobaccos used to make the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Epicure undergo a unique aging process that involves a decade of bale aging and two years of fermentation in bourbon barrels. This Toro’s Ecuadorian Shade Connecticut wrapper is draped over a Nicaragua binder and filler. Medium-bodied, the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year is a wonderfully smooth smoke with creamy complexity and subtle hints of caramel and cedar.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
