The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Corona Grande is a refined, flavor-forward expression of Perdomo’s barrel-aged Connecticut mastery. Handcrafted in Nicaragua, this elegant 6.50 × 48 cigar features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that undergoes extended fermentation followed by bourbon-barrel aging, enriching its natural sweetness and enhancing its smooth, creamy character. A Nicaraguan binder and long-aged Nicaraguan fillers complete the blend, forming a sophisticated mild-to-medium profile. The Corona Grande’s slimmer ring gauge sharpens flavor delivery, offering a more focused and nuanced interpretation of the 20th Anniversary Connecticut blend.

The first draw introduces silky notes of cream, honey, and toasted almond. As the cigar warms, the barrel-aged wrapper reveals delicate hints of oak, vanilla, and gentle white pepper. Thanks to the narrower diameter, each flavor is delivered with greater clarity, showcasing floral touches, sweet hay, and subtle caramel in the midsection. The finish is smooth, lightly sweet, and delightfully clean — a precise and elegant Connecticut profile designed for smokers who appreciate nuance over sheer volume.

Connecticut Connie: “The Corona Grande delivers clarity — creamy, sweet, and beautifully expressive.”
Vintage Vinny: “Barrel-aged warmth meets refined precision. A gorgeous, nuanced Connecticut.”
Dominican Don: “Slimmer gauge, bigger expression. Every note feels intentional and elegant.”
