About this cigar
The Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut Gordito arrives as a refined reintroduction to one of Nicaragua's most respected family operations. Perdomo has spent decades perfecting balanced blends at their estate in Estelí, and the Lot 23 series represents their commitment to consistency and approachable sophistication. The Connecticut wrapper delivers what the category promises: creamy smoke, subtle vanilla undertones, and a natural sweetness that deepens as you move through the cigar without ever becoming cloying. At gordito proportions, this vitola invites a relaxed, 45-minute engagement perfect for the retail lounge setting or the hotel bar's evening clientele. The blend shows restraint in strength - medium, cooperative, ideal for the customer who wants complexity without aggression. Expect cedar undertones and a whisper of spice that emerge in the final third, grounding the cream and sweetness in something textured and genuine. For the retailer stocking a Connecticut-forward inventory, the Lot 23 Gordito performs. The format sits comfortably in a customer's hand, the burn is forgiving, and the price point allows consistent reorders. This is the cigar that builds regular business, not the one that sits waiting for a special occasion.
