From the Perdomo Cigars website:
Miami, FL – Perdomo Grand Cru, the newest creation from Nick Perdomo, Jr., is an extremely well-balanced “puro”, blended with all Cuban-seed (Semilla Habano) wrappers, binders and fillers. These exquisite tobaccos from a crop of 2004 have been carefully hand-selected and well-aged as the “Grand Cru”, or the best of the best yield from Perdomo’s farms in 2004. Perdomo Grand Cru offers a bold, full-flavored smoking experience in either a rich, earthy Corojo wrapper or a dark, oily Maduro wrapper.
Perdomo Grand Cru is a classic Cuban-seed blend that is a direct reflection of the extreme quality control measures and time honored traditions Perdomo takes in manufacturing cigars from start to finish. Tabacalera Perdomo is completely vertical in its manufacturing facilities as they use the most modern technology to track all of its growing and processing of tobaccos from seed to smoke. From the diligent management of the soil and yields of each plot of land by top agronomists, to the processing of each leaf of tobacco in his own quality controlled pre-manufacturing operation, Perdomo uses a very detailed classification of his tobaccos in order to maximize quality control and ensure that each leaf is at its peak of flavor.Packaged in traditional, yet elegant boxes of 20, the Perdomo Grand Cru is available in four traditional sizes including: Robusto (5 x 50); Toro (6 x 50); Churchill (7 x 50); Torpedo (6 x 54). Suggested retail price range from $6.00 to $6.75 per cigar.
Sounds good to me!
What is it with Perdomo and their complete lack of consistency in they way they band their cigars? Every line has it’s own look. I think it makes the brand seem a bit schizophrenic. Keeps them from have a recognizable identity. If you think about it, when you see Fuente Band, or an Oliva band, or a La flor Dominicana band, you know exactly who makes that cigar before you even read what is printed on the band. You don’t have that with Perdomo. Their cigars are generally not identifiable on sight in the same way the other brands are. They have a very recognizable logo with the ring of copper tobacco leaves, but they don’t use it on on any but what I consider their worst line of cigars which I am not entirely certain the even produce anymore…
Good point, Matt. I think someone asked their rep that very question last time he was in and he said something to the effect that they wanted each cigar to have it’s own identity. He did say the P logo was on each one, but I don’t think I see it on the Gran Cru… I agree though, it would be easier to identify a Perdomo if they had consistent banding…
Haha the little P is hidden on the label for sure. I had one of these last week and thought it was pretty good though.
Can’t wait to try one!
The GC maduro is the better of the two in my opinion and a decent Perdomo at that.
