The Perdomo 20th Anniversary Sun Grown Gordo in 6.00 X 60 arrives with an unmistakable sense of presence—broad-shouldered, warm in tone, and wrapped in a Sun Grown leaf that radiates natural oils and deep amber color. At first glance, you can see the result of years of cultivation and careful aging, including the final bourbon-barrel finishing that enhances the wrapper’s sweetness and complexity. The Gordo size amplifies every element of the Sun Grown blend. The thick ring gauge cools the smoke, broadens the flavor range, and allows the cigar to open with both intensity and smoothness. This vitola isn’t rushed or condensed—it’s expansive, expressive, and designed to showcase the wrapper’s vibrant personality across a long, rewarding session.

The moment the cigar is lit, the Gordo reveals its character with a vast plume of warm, peppered smoke. Early notes of toasted cedar, bright spice, and honeyed grain rise confidently, supported by a texture that feels thick and creamy thanks to the generous 60-ring diameter. As the cigar progresses, deeper tones of sweet oak, caramel, and roasted almond emerge, layered with red pepper and a touch of citrus-like brightness that lifts the profile without softening its full-bodied strength. The bourbon-barrel influence becomes more noticeable through the second third, adding charred wood undertones and a glowing sweetness. The finish is long, warm, and polished—classic Sun Grown energy with the richness only a larger vitola can provide.

Dominican Don says, “The Gordo format turns the Sun Grown’s brightness into a full-spectrum glow—broad, warm, and incredibly satisfying.”
Broadleaf Benny adds, “This is where the barrel aging shines; the sweetness rolls in waves, softened by the cooler burn of the 60 ring.”
Toro Tommy notes, “The Gordo is a celebration of balance—power without harshness, spice without sharpness, depth without weight.”

The 20th Anniversary line earned Nicaraguan Cigar of the Year in 2014, and the Sun Grown Gordo stands as one of its most expressive statements. The size gives the blend room to evolve, allowing smokers to experience the wrapper’s brightness, sweetness, and spice at a gradual, deliberate pace. It is a cigar crafted for those who want a long smoke that stays engaging and lively from start to finish, with each transition revealing a new facet of the Sun Grown identity.
