The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Gordo in 6.00 X 60 announces itself the moment it touches your hand—broad, dense, and richly wrapped in a dark, bourbon-barrel-aged Maduro leaf that seems to pulse with depth. This Gordo wasn’t designed for subtlety; it was designed for immersion. As the foot ignites, the oversized ring gauge begins its slow, steady progression, cooling the smoke and creating a thick, velvety texture that only this vitola can deliver. The Nicaraguan binder and filler, grown in volcanic soils and aged patiently over years, reveal themselves in generous layers, adapting naturally to the wider diameter. The result is a Maduro experience that feels expansive—every inch built to express flavor without rushing, every draw balanced by the structure only a 60-ring format provides.

The first notes bloom with a heavy, satisfying richness: dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a warm sweetness that could only come from extended fermentation. As the cigar settles, the Gordo shape creates a wide chamber for cooler smoke, pulling forward hints of molasses, charred oak, and a subtle mineral nuance that speaks quietly of Nicaraguan earth. The finish lengthens into a blend of pepper and cocoa, anchored by the Maduro wrapper’s naturally oily character. It builds body gradually, smoothing itself out as it grows warmer, and never feels hurried despite its strength. This is a cigar meant to be experienced deliberately.

Dominican Don says, “The Gordo turns the Maduro richness into something deep and atmospheric—flavor that expands instead of sharpens.”
Broadleaf Benny shares, “With this vitola, the bourbon-barrel aging becomes even more pronounced, almost syrupy in its warmth.”
Toro Tommy notes, “The 60-ring format transforms the blend into a slow-moving river of flavor—steady, bold, and endlessly rewarding.”

The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro line earned Nicaraguan Cigar of the Year in 2014, and the Gordo may be its fullest expression of that honor. The size allows the blend to breathe, stretch, and show its range, giving smokers a longer runway to experience the complexities that define the Anniversary profile. It’s a large cigar with a larger story, built for those who enjoy a bold, stretching, unhurried session.

Many Gordo fans gravitate toward other Anniversary vitolas once they understand how the blend behaves. Some shift to the structured depth of the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Churchill, while others lean into the balanced intensity of the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sun Grown Epicure. Those who appreciate contrast often explore the creamy, elegant refinement of the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure. Each one reflects the Anniversary philosophy, but the Gordo carries the blend with the broadest, most enveloping impact.
