Perdomo 30th Anniversary Heading to Stores This Week

Perdomo has begun shipping its trio of 30th Anniversary cigars to a select group of retailers, debuting the lines with about 75 retailers across the country before likely expanding it to more stores in the future. A company representative told halfwheel that the cigars are set to arrive at those retailers this Friday, Nov. 17.

The cigars made their debut at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show this past July in celebration of Nick and Janine Perdomo marking three decades in the cigar business, a milestone that was reached in 2022. What is now known as Perdomo Cigars dates back to August 1992 and an upstart cigar operation called Nick’s Cigar Co., based out of Miami. In those three-plus decades, the company was renamed to Perdomo Cigars and built an impressive factory in Nicaragua that not only produces cigars but makes its own boxes. The company also grows a significant amount of the tobacco used in its cigars.

Nick Perdomo Jr. previously said that the 30th Anniversary “encapsulates not only the essence of our team’s dedication to the finest quality and craftsmanship, but it also represents our longstanding commitment to our cherished patrons.”

As with many Perdomo lines, the 30th Anniversary is being released in three blend options, one using an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, another using a Nicaraguan maduro wrapper, and the third using a Nicaraguan sungrown leaf. All three use a Nicaraguan binder and filler and are offered in five sizes.

The Perdomo 30th Anniversary Box-Pressed Connecticut is highlighted by a wrapper leaf that has been aged in bourbon barrels, while some of its fillers come with 15 years of age on them. The company says this blend offers a smooth, creamy complexity with hints of caramel and cedar on the finish.

All three versions of the Perdomo 30th Anniversary are made at the company’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and are being added as regular production lines to the company’s portfolio, though the company has said that they come with limited availability to ensure that it can supply its retailers with the cigars.
