We are very excited to let you know about the newest upcoming release from Perdomo Cigars! The New Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage is a blend of our finest and most cherished 12 year old fillers, binders, and wrappers. These rare tobaccos have been carefully bale aged for ten years and then barrel aged for an additional two years! Using our proprietary double-aging process, each leaf of seco, viso, ligero, binder, and wrapper is aged in charred, white oak bourbon barrels. This unique double-aging process ensures the perfect color, texture, aroma, and flavor in these tobaccos, making each cigar a well-balanced and full-flavored smoking experience.

A photo of the new project has also been seen on several Perdomo-affilated accounts on Facebook, including Nick Perdomo’s. A formal announcement is expected to be made by the company on Friday.
