Perdomo Lot 23

Well the fine folks at Perdomo have another winner on their hands. The Lot 23 refers to a specific lot of experimental Nicaraguan tobacco planted in 2000. They could have been planted in Area 51 for all I car since the resulting cigar is a good tasting cigar. This is a medium-bodied stick that has flavors of sweet cedar delivered in a creamy smoke. There was nothing particularly complex about the flavors, just a nice well-balanced smoke from beginning to end. The burn was slightly uneven, requiring some adjusting flames throughout the smoke. While I didn't enjoy this cigar as much as the Perdomo Habano which I reviewed last week, this is still a great cigar at a great price. You can buy a box of the Belicoso that I smoked for $90.

Overall rating: 7.5 out of 10
