The Perdomo Lot 23 Sun Grown Belicoso comes alive the moment its 6.00 × 54 tapered head meets the flame, releasing a bright wave of cedar, spice, and warm earth. Its Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper—deeply bronzed from unfiltered Estelí sunlight—immediately reveals the energetic personality of the blend. Beneath it lies binder and filler grown exclusively on the celebrated Lot 23 farm, where volcanic soil enriches the tobaccos with rustic sweetness, mineral depth, and unmistakable character. The Belicoso shape narrows the opening draw before expanding the smoke into a wider, more incredible body, heightening transitions and creating a flavorful arc unique to this vitola.

The opening inches deliver lively red pepper, cedar, and toasted grain. As the cigar widens, the Lot 23 core adds soft caramel, warm earth, and a honeyed sweetness that tempers the early spice. The tapered head concentrates the first flavors, while the expanding midsection allows the smoke to broaden and cool. In the final third, the profile shifts into deeper cedar, nutmeg, and light molasses, finishing warm and sun-kissed with just a touch of lingering spice.

Nicaraguan Nick says, “The Belicoso shape gives this Sun Grown blend incredible definition—bright up front and smooth through the body.”
Toro Tommy adds, “Lot 23’s natural sweetness rises beautifully beneath the spice, creating a well-rounded rhythm.”
Boutique Betty notes, “It’s energetic but never sharp—the taper adds elegance and the finish is wonderfully warm.”

While not tied to a specific award-year milestone, the Lot 23 Sun Grown Belicoso has earned steady acclaim for its balanced strength, expressive transitions, and ability to deliver Sun Grown energy without harshness. Smokers admire how the vitola sharpens the opening before softening into broad, earthy sweetness.
