The “Immense Seventy” – that pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
This is a monster cigar made for hardcore smoke hounds. If you just can’t get enough tobacco from those skinny Lanceros, this is a big honkin’ log of a cigar with a 70 ring gauge to puff on, if you can.
The funny thing is, it isn’t even a case of a cigar company hopping on the trend of making fat cigars (like the Asylum 13 80, E.P. Carrillo Inch, and the Oliva Cain F 660). The Perdomo Inmenso was on the market decades ago! Now it’s back by popular demand, so you can enjoy one of the first companies to go all-in on massive stogies for people who just can’t get enough leaf.
Like many blends from this company, the Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Maduro is a Nicaraguan puro made from Cuban-seed tobacco. As one of the biggest farmers of cigar tobacco in the world, let alone Nicaragua, they have access to a truly vast library of high-quality leaf. They can pick and choose, grading their produce and figuring out which blends need what. For the Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Maduro, the choice was made to actually dip into the stores of aged tobacco, instead of relying on the fresh harvest. It can be hard to plan for a future blend, and it often boils down to testing tobacco as it ages to experience how the flavors have developed. In this case, the Perdomo blending team was able to come up with a cigar that properly respected the valuable tobacco while offering a huge format smoke.
No easy task!
The resulting experience of smoking the Perdomo Inmenso Seventy Maduro cigar is surprisingly nice. Big often is assumed to mean powerful in the cigar world, but this cigar has refinement and balance. The smoke is medium-full body and strength, offering “complex flavors with hints of oak and espresso on the finish.” It may smoke a bit different than other Maduros you’re used to as well. This is because the filler blend is now outsized in proportion to the wrapper leaf, so expect a bit less Maduro flavor and a bit more of that sweet and gently spicy character you get from aged Cuban-seed tobacco.
Earthy and expansive – a big smoke for when petite just won’t cut it. This cigar is a superb piece of blending.
