The Perdomo Double Aged 12-Year Vintage Sun Grown Robusto in 5.00 X 56 delivers the boldest, most immediate expression of the Sun Grown blend—a concentrated burst of peppered warmth, bourbon-barrel sweetness, and deep Nicaraguan richness shaped by over a decade of aging. Lift it from the box, and the wrapper immediately reveals its pedigree: a glowing cinnamon-brown leaf with exceptional oil content, the result of slow, natural fermentation followed by two full years' rest in white oak bourbon barrels. Beneath the wrapper lies a selection of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos matured for twelve years, each developing complexity while preserving the vibrancy that defines Sun Grown character. The Robusto format focuses that intensity, creating a compact, energetic experience from the first draw.

From the moment the cigar is lit, the Robusto shows its strength and personality. The first puffs deliver warm red pepper, sweet cedar, and rich earth, creating a lively introduction that energizes the palate. Because of the cigar’s shorter length and broad 56-ring gauge, the smoke remains cool while the flavors arrive with vivid clarity. Moving into the first third, hints of caramel, dried fruit, and toasted almond begin to appear—flavors enhanced by the bourbon-barrel finishing that softens the spice into a round, glowing sweetness. As the Robusto transitions into the second third, deeper Sun Grown tones emerge: charred oak, cinnamon, roasted nuts, and a gentle molasses warmth. The retrohale brings clean pepper and a touch of citrus-like brightness. In the final stretch, the cigar intensifies into richer earth, warm baking spices, and dark honey, all delivered with smoothness uncommon for a short, full-bodied vitola.

Nicaraguan Nick says, “The Robusto gives you the full Sun Grown experience instantly—bold, warm, and deeply satisfying.”
Broadleaf Benny notes, “The barrel-aged sweetness comes through beautifully here, balancing the spice with caramelized depth.”
Toro Tommy adds, “If you want intensity without losing refinement, the Robusto is the perfect size for this blend.”

Although the Double Aged 12-Year Vintage Sun Grown line isn’t tied to a single award, it is universally respected among enthusiasts for its rare twelve-year aging process and unmistakable consistency.
