Perdomo Habanos Toro Maduro (5.5″x 54)

“Evening Smoke” I had the pleasure of sitting with my family by the fire on a fine San Diego evening, talking about life and enjoying cigars. I was smoking one of the newer Perdomo sticks, the Habanos, and drinking Arrogant Bastard by Stone Brewing Company. If any of you have every had an Arrogant Bastard before, you know that it’s hoppy enough to kill a small horse and certainly hoppy enough to deaden your pallet a bit.

I was talking and drinking so I really didn’t focus completely on the cigar, but hey, that’s what it’s all about. If you’re not enjoying yourself then don’t bother smoking! However, I did jot down a few notes, so here it is. The construction was great and the smooth maduro wrapper was slightly toothy. It had a mild, peppery vibe through the nose but aside from that it was very rich and smooth. The smoke was thick and the burn was consistent. The Arrogant Bastard was completely over the top and thoroughly enjoyed!

I have never been one to complain about the combination of beer with cigar, however I must caution you not to smoke very fine cigars while drinking Arrogant Bastard.  It would just be a waste.The Perdomo Habanos is a wonderful cigar. It’s inexpensive, tasty, and smokes great. I highly recommend it!
