Final Third: Intensifies with oak, pepper, and dark molasses-like richness, finishing robust yet refined with lingering, warm spice.
Construction & Burn
The box-pressed Epicure is meticulously crafted for an easy draw and dense smoke output. The burn line typically stays straight, producing slow, even combustion and a firm ash — a testament to the extensive aging and fermentation processes, including bourbon-barrel aging of the wrapper.
Story & Accolades
Created to celebrate Perdomo’s 30 years of premium cigar craftsmanship, the 30th Anniversary Sun Grown uses tobaccos aged up to 15 years for exceptional depth and smoothness. The Sun Grown wrapper receives additional bourbon-barrel fermentation, enhancing its natural sweetness and spice. The Epicure vitola showcases the blend’s balance and layered intensity in a longer, elegant format.

Beer: Hoppy red ale or American brown ale.
