The Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Belicoso opens with a rich, aromatic bloom as its 6.00 × 54 tapered head meets the flame. The Maduro wrapper—deep brown, oily, and naturally sweet from extended fermentation—immediately releases notes of cocoa, roasted espresso, and earthy spice. Beneath the wrapper lies a binder and filler blend cultivated exclusively on Perdomo’s Lot 23 farm, where the volcanic soil imparts a rustic sweetness and grounded character that enriches the profile. The Belicoso shape channels the smoke through a narrow point before expanding into a wider body, giving this vitola a signature structure: concentrated flavor up front, followed by smooth, widening transitions.

The first draws deliver bittersweet chocolate, pepper, and a warm espresso undertone. As the cigar opens further, the Lot 23 core reveals hints of molasses, toasted nuts, and dark fruit sweetness that blend seamlessly with the Maduro richness. The tapered head sharpens the early profile, while the broadening midsection cools the smoke and deepens the sweetness. In the final third, earth, cocoa, and caramelized sugars gather into a warm, rounded finish with lingering spice—rich yet never overwhelming.

Broadleaf Benny says, “The Belicoso shape makes the Maduro flavors hit with precision—rich, focused, and beautifully layered.”
Nicaraguan Nick adds, “You can feel the Lot 23 sweetness rise under the dark cocoa and earth—it’s unmistakably farm-born.”
Toro Tommy notes, “This vitola offers a perfect arc: bold start, creamy center, and a warm, elegant finish.”

While not tied to a specific award-year milestone, the Lot 23 Maduro Belicoso has earned enthusiastic praise for its draw, burn performance, and its ability to deliver layered Maduro depth without harshness. The combination of the tapered head and Lot 23’s signature terroir creates a profile that feels refined yet grounded, appealing to both seasoned Maduro smokers and those exploring the line for the first time.
