Perdomo Small Batch Series Connecticut Half Corona Tin 4" * 46

Perdomo Small Batch, released in 2015, is made by hand with 10 year old Nicaraguan tobaccos. The family uses smaller leaves in the blend, and the first release of the series uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper for its characteristic creamy flavor. The cigar is well balanced with nutty, buttery, and woody flavors throughout.

The classic size of this short corona is 5 inches by a 40 to 44 ring gauge, but it can be as short as 4 inches.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 4 inches long, or 101.6 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 46, so his diameter is 46/64 inches or 18.29 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.

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

Perdomo Cigars President, Nick Perdomo Jr., is a third-generation cigar maker. His grandfather and father were cigarmakers in Cuba until the Castro regime incarcerated Nick's grandfather,Silvio, and wounded Nick's father, Nick Sr., who was able to escape to America. Nick, who opened his cigar company in his garage, now oversees over 2000 employees and an 88,000 sq ft factory in Nicaragua. Perdomo cigars are well known all over the world.

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.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

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