Flavor Profile

First Third: Smooth waves of cream and cedar, complemented by toasted almond and light caramel sweetness.
Mid-Smoke: Notes deepen into roasted nuts and subtle honey, with soft oak and a hint of baking spices emerging.
Final Third: The smoke finishes creamy and mellow, with gentle cedar and a lingering sweetness — perhaps light vanilla or honey — leaving a clean, slightly nutty aftertaste.

Construction & Burn

This cigar is box-pressed, showcasing the smooth, golden-brown wrapper rolled over a solid Nicaraguan binder and filler. Construction is typically firm and well-packed, producing thick, creamy smoke and an even, slow burn — ideal for a long, relaxed session often lasting 80–110 minutes.

Story & Accolades

Released to commemorate 30 years of the Perdomo family in the cigar industry, the 30th Anniversary line reflects a dedication to matured tobaccos and refined craftsmanship. The Connecticut version — including this Gordo vitola — uses a rare Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper aged in bourbon barrels and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos aged up to 15 years, making it one of Perdomo’s most luxurious and celebrated cigars.

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: Cream ale or a lightly hopped pilsner — their mild maltiness complements the cigar’s creamy sweetness.
Wine: A medium-bodied white like Chardonnay or a light-bodied red such as Pinot Noir.
Spirits: Light bourbon, aged rum, or a smooth coffee liqueur.

Overall Impression

The Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut Gordo delivers a refined, luxurious Connecticut-style smoking experience — creamy, balanced, and subtly sweet — while offering enough body and complexity to satisfy both seasoned aficionados and those newer to box-pressed cigars.
