Zach,

You make a good point, and while I don’t recall all the details, I don’t think the cigar actually came from IPCPR. It was passed given to one rep from another at an event some time later. But it was a sample a rep carried around. Ordinarily I give a stick like this some time in the humidor before a review, but I may not have in this case. (I don’t remember, it was years ago.) If so, yeah, the comments on the construction may not have been completely fair. On the other hand, my verdict was positive, I still like them and I have smoked more since then, so there’s that.

The cigar was transported to a trade show, bustled around, handed out at said trade show, carried around in a pocket for a while, handed to another person, and finally reviewed. If a cigar demonstrates solid construction after all of that I would be impressed. I have reviewed cigars before that had been pocketed and changed hands two or three times. I try to make a point of not counting any ‘construction issues’ against it too heavily as that cigar has been though quite a lot.

I use to smoke the Habano series. Unfortunately, they began canoeing more than a flotilla of Mohawk Indians. I believe Perdomo has a problem with bad rollers. The only cigar from Perdomo I find constructed
well is the Silvios, expensive but a great stick.

This cigar is the Bomb…. I have not tried the Camacho Corojo but based on what I’ve read thus far, I might give it a shot… For those looking to purchase single sticks from a great online shop with free shipping, try Tampahumidor.com. They may not have the most extensive selection but i really like that the shipping is free and the send humi pillows with every purchase….

Happy Smoking….

This was a great smoke. Mine burned evenly, however required a relight about 2/3 thru. Solid taste. I do recommend.

Forgot to add one thing The best part of the cigar or the “Sweet Spot” is right before you start hitting the last third making me think a Lonsdale or possibly a Churchill would be nice.

I have a local B&M that Has EVERYTHING the only cigar I wish to try they don’t have is the Tatuaje Black. But other than that they have everything in almost all vitolas Needless to say its a HUGE humidor.

So as I was getting some of my usual’s (Tat Reds, and Camancho Corojo’s) I decided to try a new Corojo and picked up a Patriarch in a Carona size. It has a light Corojo wrapper it was VERY smooth and the review was pretty much the same. Uneven burn Slow burner holds almost 2 in ash although in the smaller ring it is less flaky and longer. I like cigars with foot bands as it keeps the foot nice and crisp. In all I found this to be an average cigar (I am no a huge Perdomo Fan so I may be a bit biased)

Personally I don’t think I will be buying more I really like the Camancho Corojo’s and being about the same price in my area (California) both brands are about the same price so I will stick with my Camancho Corojo’s for now (I really think its due to the fact that the Camancho is all Corojo filler and I don’t know if this is the same for the Perdomo.

In all Its a good cigar but it wont become one of my new favorites but i bet it will be for some others. Personally I also think that it is overpriced for what it is it is the same price as the Camacho which is a Much higher quality cigar. a corona cost me 9 bucks and I think it should have been $6-$7 maybe even $8 but not $9 I think the Churchills should be about $10 or $11 and then the rest should follow the same price downgrade. (its all about the Perdomo Name that brings the price tag. IMO)
