Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut taste like?
The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut is a mild-to-medium cigar with cedar, natural sweetness, and a light spice on the finish. The 10-month bourbon barrel aging on the wrapper adds a subtle oak layer underneath. It smokes creamy and smooth from light to nub, making it an easy daytime or pairing cigar.
What wrapper does the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut use?
The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut uses a 10-year bale-aged Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper, finished with an additional 10 months in bourbon barrels. Beneath it sits Perdomo's new Cuban-and-Cameroon-seed hybrid binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa, all aged a full decade.
Who makes the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut and why was it created?
The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut was blended by Nicholas Perdomo III as a tribute to his father, Nick Perdomo Jr., marking 60 years of family cigar making. It is built at Tabacalera Perdomo in Esteli, Nicaragua. The full Legacy line centers on a proprietary hybrid tobacco the family spent roughly a decade developing.
What is the hybrid tobacco in the Perdomo Legacy line?
The Perdomo Legacy line is built around a Cuban-and-Cameroon-seed hybrid leaf grown at Perdomo's Finca Natalie farm in Esteli, Nicaragua. Cuban seed brings body and aroma; Cameroon seed brings natural sweetness and spice. In the Connecticut, this hybrid serves as the binder under the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
Is the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut a good beginner cigar?
Yes. The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut is mild-to-medium in strength with a smooth, creamy profile, which makes it approachable for newer smokers. It carries enough cedar, sweetness, and aged-tobacco depth to stay interesting for experienced palates looking for a lighter daytime smoke.
What sizes and prices does Renegade Cigars carry for the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut?
Renegade Cigars carries the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut in four sizes: Robusto (5x54) at $14.21 single or $306.94 box, Epicure (6x54) at $14.72 or $317.95, Churchill (7x54) at $15.23 or $328.97, and Gordo (6x60) at $15.73 or $339.77. Each box holds 24 cigars.
How is the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut different from the Nicaraguan Shade Grown?
Both share the Legacy hybrid tobacco, but in different roles. The Perdomo Legacy Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over the hybrid binder for a mild-to-medium, creamy profile. The Nicaraguan Shade Grown puts the hybrid leaf on the outside as the wrapper, pushing strength to medium-to-full with more cedar, leather, and spice.
