perdomo Cigar Woman Cigar Review Silvio Perdomo Edicion De Silvio

Description

The cigar smoked for this review was a robusto, Silvio Perdomo Edicion De’ Silivo. I have searched far and wide to try and figure out the origin of the tobacco used in this cigar, but apparently the Perdomo family "fiercely guards" this information.

- I kept the cigar in my humidor for a week with my hygrometer at 70.

- I used a Cuban Crafters Guillotine cutter.

- Total smoke time – 53 minutes

Color – 5 of 5:

The robusto features an exquisite natural colored wrapper. The wrapper was even and smooth and free from any blemishes

Construction – 9.5 of 10:

Upon first sight it is clear that the Ediciion De’ Silvio is a finely crafted cigar. The head of the cigar is mounted with a triple cap, a Cuban tradition that is the signature of high quality craftsmanship in an ultra premium cigar.

The cigar body was firm, giving slightly when pinched.

I spent a good 5 minutes inspecting the wrapper on this cigar. In early evening light, the wrapper edges were barely distinguishable. There were no uneven edges or blemishes whatsoever!

Lighting – 4 of 5:

My torch was out of fuel for this smoke, so I used some Tommy Bahama 2 inch wooden matches to light the cigar. It took 2 full matches to get the cigar edges completely lit. The center was more difficult to get started, but a few good puffs against the third match and it was ready to go.

Aroma – 9.0

Rustic and full, yet lighter than most cigars, the aroma of the Silvio is full of spice and oak.

Flavor- 22 of 25:

The oils in the wrapper of this cigar were unusually strong spice to them, almost as if I had sucked on the skin of a spicy pepper. The flavor of the cigar was very robust, and continued to be through the end of the cigar. Once the spice from the oils wore off, the cigar became very enjoyable. The flavor is very well rounded with delicate undertones, with a full bodied finish.

Draw – 10 of 10

This Perdomo cigar has by far the lightest draw of any ultra premium cigar that I have ever smoke. I used a Cuban Crafters guillotine cutter, but would recommend using a punch instead.

Smoke – 8 of 10:

Frankly, there was a bit too much smoke for my taste, or this would have been rated a 10. I think that may have been a result of the easy draw and the somewhat large cut I made using the guillotine. I will have to try another one of these fine cigars using a punch.

Ash – 10 of 10:

The Silvio Perdomo Cigar produced a nice gray ash. The Rubusto was a little over 5 inches, and the ash only fell of once during the entire smoke, and was easily over 2.5 inches long.

Burn – 9.5 of 10:

The burn was even and smooth until a little runner started in the last 2 inches of the cigar. I rotated it in my grip and it evened back out fairly quickly.

Intangibles – 4.5

I rate intangibles because I believe my mood has a lot to do with how much I enjoy a good cigar. Today was a particularly stressful day at work. I lit up the cigar and walked around my neighborhood with my English Bulldog. After about 15 minutes, I found myself smiling and just enjoying the day, my dog, and the quality of this fine cigar.
