   Perdomo Estate Seleccion Vintage Sun Grown Regente. A line re-introduced in 2016, and as almost always with Perdomo, it came with sisters. Many Perdomo lines come in Connecticut Shade, Sun Grown, and Maduro. At first, the line came on the market in 2005, with vintage tobaccos from the 1991 harvest. Nick Perdomo Sr purchased that tobacco in 1995, so by the time it hit the market, the tobacco was true vintage. When the tobacco was all used, the line disappeared. But it returned in 2016, again with vintage tobaccos from the Perdomo tobacco library. 

   During episode 13 of The Philip & Ferdy Cigar Show, the guys were introduced to this cigar. That was at Cigar Malaysia at the Ansa Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Extra cigars were purchased to review this cigar. All the tobacco in this blend is Nicaraguan. The same goes for the Maduro version. The only Perdomo Estate Seleccion Vintage blend that isn’t a Nicaraguan puro is the Connecticut version. That blend uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.

   The review

   The cigar looks amazing. The shiny, oily, reddish-brown wrapper is flawless. The sharp veins that are visible are from the binder. And then the ring, one of the prettiest in the game. Copper-colored, glossy with different shades of brown and lots of gold. The only other colors used are some black and white for the Perdomo logo. The cigar feels well constructed. It has a medium-strong aroma of hay and wood.

   The cold draw is fine. With a flavor profile of salt, raw tobacco, and a little nut. After lighting, there is coffee, citrus, pepper, leather, and soil. A nutty flavor shows up too, with cedar. All with nice citrus that binds it together. The mouthfeel is meaty. The cedar gets a little stronger, there is some spice as well. The acidity disappeared. The second third starts with pepper, nuts, and sweetness. The final third has more wood, leather, and soil. But still with pepper, spice, and even some coffee.

   The draw is fantastic. The burn is good. In the beginning, it looked like there would be an issue but the burn corrected itself. A good amount of smoke, with a nice thickness. Construction on the cigar is great. The light-colored ash is reasonably firm. The cigar is medium-full bodied. And full-flavored. Yet all while being smooth. The smoke time is three hours.

   Strength: medium-full
   Flavor: full
