Cigar Review for Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sungrown Gordo
My Review
17 minutes in still pretty much at the beggining of the cigar, some chocolate is coming out. Very thick gauge. Very good draw and smoke production. Had a little issue with tunneling but after adding some more fire, that seems to be resolved. Getting a little bit of dried fruit.
About 1/3 in, at the 30 minute mark. The chocolate has subsided a bit and some leather is coming in as well as some spice.
51 minutes in, about at the halfway point. The flavors are becoming very rich and enjoyable. This cigar doesn't show it's true colors until this point but it really is proving to be a delicious stick.
About 90 minutes in and coming to the end. Very could smoke, especially once you get to the second half.
