Our Master Tobacconist Experience
Our staff has long regarded the Perdomo Legacy Connecticut as one of the most consistent and rewarding lines in the Dominican portfolio, often reaching for the Robusto when customers want refined quality that never disappoints. The cold draw teases creamy cedar, nutty sweetness, and faint floral spice. Upon lighting, the first third opens with prominent creamy cedar, roasted almonds, cream, leather hints, and mild white pepper on the retrohale, delivering a smooth, balanced start with exceptional draw. Moving into the second third, the profile deepens beautifully with richer notes of dark cocoa, honey sweetness, toasted oak, and sustained nuttiness as the Dominican tobaccos reveal seamless layers. The final third builds smoothly to intensified leather, espresso-like boldness, woody earth, lingering sweet spice, and a long, refined finish that holds strong to the nub. This medium-full, 50 to 70 minute smoke offers impeccable burn, firm ash, and consistent layered sophistication throughout.
