Perdomo Lot 23 Sungrown

That experimental plot in Esteli really paid off—the Sungrown wrapper burns slow and even, and the Nicaraguan fillers give a smooth, earthy draw from first light to last third. I’ve smoked a lot of premium sticks, but this one’s balance of sweetness and spice kept me coming back for another box.

The fermentation on these fillers really brings out a smooth, earthy character that burns perfectly slow. I’ve had a few that were a bit tight on the draw, but once they opened up it was a solid hour-plus smoke. This Nicaraguan puro has become my go-to for a quiet evening.

The sungrown wrapper from this experimental plot is smooth, but I found the draw a bit tight on the one I smoked this weekend. It's a decent, mellow smoke for the price—nothing extraordinary.
