Perdomo Debuts Full-Bodied Cigar

Nick Perdomo, president of Tabacalera Perdomo, has decided to use the tobacco culled from his 2004 crop for his newest creation: Perdomo Grand Cru, a Nicaraguan puro spawned from Cuban seeds planted in the Condega, Jalapa and EstelĂ­ growing regions of Nicaragua. The Grand Cru comes in two varieties, Corojo and Maduro, and according to Perdomo, the Corojo is the most full-bodied cigar that he makes.
