The Perdomo Double Aged 12-Year Vintage Connecticut Robusto in 5.00 X 56 is the cigar that brings refinement into sharp focus—shorter, broader, and immediately expressive of its deeply aged character. Lift it from the box and the wrapper glows with a golden, buttery sheen, the unmistakable look of a Connecticut leaf that has been nurtured, aged, and polished through over a decade of careful fermentation. Beneath that wrapper lies a harmonious blend of binder and filler grown in Nicaragua’s volcanic soils, each leaf matured for 12 years before receiving its final two-year bourbon-barrel rest. The Robusto size emphasizes immediacy—flavor delivered with confidence from the very first draw, shaped by the 56-ring gauge that cools the smoke and softens the blend’s natural brightness.

The opening notes arrive with silky, rounded edges: cream, honeyed cereal, and warm cedar glide effortlessly across the palate. There is no bite, no sharpness—just a quietly confident warmth shaped by age and patience. As the cigar settles into the second third, the Connecticut wrapper begins to release subtle accents of toasted almond, vanilla, and light caramel, each one enhanced by the bourbon-barrel finishing that gives the smoke its gentle, comforting glow. The retrohale is soft but flavorful, delivering hints of white pepper and sweet hay. In the final third, the Robusto deepens just enough to remain engaging—notes of buttercream, oak, and roasted nuts come forward, while the blend’s smoothness remains intact all the way to the nub. This vitola is ideal for those who prefer richness without weight, complexity without intensity, and eye-closing smoothness from start to finish.

Connecticut Connie says, “The Robusto is where this blend becomes its creamiest—rich, soft, and irresistibly smooth.”
Dominican Don notes, “Every puff tastes like luxury aged slowly—twelve years of patience wrapped into a short, elegant session.”
Vintage Vinny adds, “The 56 ring gives the flavors room to stretch, making the sweetness rounder and the finish longer.”
