About Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage

Double Aged 12‑Year Vintage is Perdomo’s limited‑production exercise in patience: tobaccos bale‑aged roughly ten years, then finished two years in charred white‑oak bourbon barrels. Offered in Connecticut, Sun Grown and Maduro over Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler, the line ranges from mild‑medium creamy caramel and cedar to medium‑full dark chocolate, coffee and oak. Reviewers have singled out the barrel‑aged sweetness and reliable construction.

Connecticut

ALL LINES

The Double Aged 12‑Year Vintage Connecticut pairs an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler and is described as mild‑to‑medium; its signature is a double‑aging process (ten years in bales, two years in bourbon barrels) that brings creamy caramel and cedar notes with a rich, buttery finish.

Filler

Cuban-Seed Nicaraguan

This Connecticut is built around Perdomo’s double‑aging regimen: tobaccos bale‑aged for a decade, then rested two years in charred white‑oak bourbon barrels. The blend wears an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler. Smoking it favors texture over punch — soft cream up front, a steady caramel sweetness and cedar through the body, and a lingering buttery finish. The smoke is slightly oily and plush, with a smooth, rounded delivery that reads like a shade wrapper dialed toward depth and warmth rather than thin delicacy.

Double‑Aged Maduro

Maduro

ALL LINES

The Double Aged 12‑Year Vintage Maduro uses a Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler and is produced with a two‑step double‑aging process (ten years bale‑aged, two years barrel‑aged), yielding dark chocolate, coffee, cedar and a rounded, slightly sweet finish.

Sizes

  • Robusto (5.0" x 56)
  • Epicure (6.0" x 56)
  • Salomon (6 1/8" x 54)
  • Gordo Extra (6 1/2" x 60)
  • Churchill (7.0" x 56)

Wrapper

Nicaraguan Maduro

Binder

Cuban-seed Nicaraguan

Filler

Cuban-seed Nicaraguan (Condega seco, Jalapa viso, Estelí ligero components)

The Maduro in this series is defined by the double‑aging process: a decade in bales followed by two years in charred white‑oak bourbon barrels. The result is a Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler that reads smoother and sweeter than many younger maduro offerings. Expect dark chocolate and coffee up front, cedar and grounding earth through the body, and a warm oak sweetness on the finish. Strength is medium‑to‑full, with a rounded, approachable delivery and construction that reviewers have found steady and open‑drawn.

Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan

This Sun Grown is distinguished by Perdomo’s double‑aging: a decade in bales followed by two years in charred bourbon barrels. The Nicaraguan Sun‑grown wrapper over Cuban‑seed Nicaraguan binder and filler gives the cigar an oak‑and‑earth backbone with a noticeable almond sweetness and warm baking spice. Creamy, molasses‑like undercurrents appear early and carry into a long, warming finish. The result is a robust, box‑worthy sun‑grown that uses time and wood to build a fuller, more rounded flavor template.

Frequently Asked Questions

Perdomo’s Double Aged process pairs long bale aging (about ten years) with a two‑year finish in charred white‑oak bourbon barrels. The barrels concentrate natural sweetness, add warm oak notes and tighten leaf texture; Perdomo applies this regimen to wrapper, binder and filler in the 12‑Year Vintage program.
