The Cigar:

PERDOMO Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne is blended using tobaccos that have been carefully hand-selected and aged for a minimum of six years. The PERDOMO Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne was where the technique of bourbon barrel-aging wrapper tobaccos started for Pelrdomo. This special aging process was a Perdomo family secret for years and Nicholas Perdomo, Sr. aptly named the beautifully bourbon barrel-aged wrappers, the “Champagne” of wrappers.

The Flavors:

The beautiful, butterscotch colored Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper imparts sweet hints of cream and honey. The Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves offer a rich spiciness with oaky undertones. The combination of the wrapper, binder, and fillers in this blend offers elegant flavors with rich complex aromas and a silky, smooth finish.

The Bottle: 

Amaro Montenegro was Created in 1885 and originally Named Elister Lungavita. They Changed the name to honor the Princess of Montenegro after her wedding. It is created by a three step process of Boiling, Maceration, Distillation of all 40 different herbs and botanicals that fill up the recipe. ⁠ Secret Ingredient - Premio - Secret blend of Botanicals, Essential for the flavor - 1 Liter for 15,000 bottles. One Drop of this ingredient is in every bottle. ⁠

The Pairing: 

Amaro back at it again, this pairing is so delicious, I keep coming back. The brightness of the amaro orange peel shines through the softs price of the cigar. This is a pretty mellow pairing that actually makes the amaro the star because of a deep and complex flavor profile. The cigar keeps the experience steady and consistent while you enjoy the craziness of this bottle.
