The Perdomo Legacy Maduro Gordo is a cool-burning, full-flavored expression of Perdomo’s expertise in aging rich Nicaraguan Maduro tobaccos. This impressive 6.00 × 60 cigar features a dark, beautifully matured Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper known for its natural sweetness, deep color, and velvety texture. Beneath the wrapper lies a Nicaraguan binder and a hearty selection of long-aged filler tobaccos grown on Perdomo’s renowned estates. Medium-to-full in strength, the Gordo format maximizes smoke volume and coolness, offering an extended, richly layered Maduro experience.

From the first draw, the Gordo delivers bold notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and sweet earth. As the blend unfolds, warm flavors of molasses, toasted oak, black pepper, and dried fruit emerge with smooth intensity. Midway through, deeper tones of cocoa, leather, cinnamon, and soft natural sweetness develop, supported by a thick, creamy smoke delivered through the large ring gauge. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying — a classic Maduro profile expressed with balance, power, and refinement.

Broadleaf Benny: “Big ring Maduros are my weakness — sweet, rich, earthy, and endlessly smooth.”
Fuerte Frank: “Plenty of muscle but not an ounce of harshness. This is Perdomo quality through and through.”
Vintage Vinny: “The aging behind this wrapper is unmistakable. Dark flavor, silky delivery.”

Although this vitola has not yet received a formal rating, the Perdomo Legacy Maduro line is admired for its deep Maduro richness, refined aging, and exceptionally consistent construction. The Gordo is especially loved by enthusiasts who enjoy extended sessions, cooler smoke temperature, and amplified Maduro sweetness.
