Perdomo Reserve Oscuro

The Perdomo Reserve Oscuro (the band reads La Tradicion, Perdomo Reserve, Cabinet Series) had a very easy draw. Probably the easiest draw of any cigar I have had to date, which is a nice thing in my book. I hate having to sit and puff on a cigar just to squeeze a bit of smoke out of it. Even though the draw was nice, it still felt like a fairly solid cigar. It was smaller than most, maybe a Robusto.

The wrapper was dark and oily. It had a fine taste before lighting with not a hint of bitterness, and I saw only a few veins in the leaf. Sadly, it was a very dry cigar, the kind you have to enjoy with a drink. After each puff I was compelled to take a sip just to wash the dry out. The taste was not bad, but it was bland — I couldn’t even distinguish any memorable taste. The burn was even at first but became rough about halfway through, necessitating some touching up.

A cheap smoke that started out promisingly and ended mediocre.
