The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Gordo is a cool-burning, luxuriously creamy celebration of Perdomo’s barrel-aged craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, this generous 6.00 × 60 vitola showcases an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that undergoes extended fermentation followed by bourbon-barrel aging, enriching its honeyed sweetness and enhancing smoothness. A Nicaraguan binder and long-aged Nicaraguan fillers deepen the profile, delivering a mild-to-medium strength cigar with exceptional balance, volume, and refined texture. The Gordo’s larger ring gauge magnifies coolness and creaminess, offering a long, soothing Connecticut experience.

From the first draw, the Gordo opens with elegant notes of cream, honey, and sweet almond. As the bourbon-barrel-aged wrapper warms, soft hints of oak, vanilla, and light white pepper emerge, creating a warm, inviting flavor progression. Midway through, the large gauge reveals deeper tones of sweet hay, light caramel, and a buttery smoke texture that remains smooth and cool throughout. The finish is long, clean, and gently sweet — a hallmark of Connecticut refinement shaped by Perdomo’s signature aging process.

Vintage Vinny: “That barrel-aged sweetness is unmistakable — warmth, honey, and refinement in harmony.”
