The Cigar Report Reviews: PERDOMO LOT 23 MADURO TORO
The nice folks at The Cigar Report have excellent things to say about the Perdomo Lot 23 Toro Maduro:
I believe Nick Perdomo has outdone himself with the Lot 23. The tobacco in this stick is specially grown in Nicaragua on a field called Lot 23...thus the name. This field was cultivated in 2000 and six years later Perdomo and his team masterfully blended these tobaccos to create the unique premium cigar, Perdomo Lot 23.
The veiny, dark brown wrapper is leathery to the touch and expertly constructed. Along with the spicy notes, the broadleaf wrapper provides some sweetness. The cigar is a bit peppery in the beginning but nicely transitions to a smooth, sweet offering creating a robust but pleasant taste and experience. The Perdomo Lot 23 produces a firm white ash and a solid burn line.
In summary, the Perdomo Lot 23 possesses great construction, quality and overall value. It was a privilege to smoke the Lot 23. I enjoyed it thoroughly and know you will too.

Here are my impressions of the Lot 23 Gordito with the maduro wrapper. I have to admit I like my cigars with a greater ring gauge and the Gordito proves a winner, for me, with it's dimensions being 4.5"x 60.
The initial appearance and feel of this cigar was very satisfying to me with it's chocolate colored, maduro wrapper. The surface tension of this one that I had was firm, slightly dry, with a slight spring along the body of the cigar. The cap was smooth across the top with a couple of tiny lifts along the edge. Nothing to cause me any alarm though. Overall the cigar had a satisfactory presentation about it.
Initial aromas I picked up were that of a mild earthy tobacco. And after cutting I found the pre-light draw was what I'd describe as just right, just evenly draw able.
Post lighting the Gordito held it's edge burning evenly. The first third offered up flavors that were mildly sweet and earthy, not the sweetest maduro I've had, just subtly sweet with an earthy after taste.
The second third blended the earthy sweetness over into a light to medium caramel that became more defined with a spicy after taste with timber flavors. As a side note the Gordito continued to burn evenly without requiring any effort to touch up the burn at all.
Moving onto the final third, with the cigar producing a large amount of smoke, I was treated to a soft caramel/cocoa with the continuing timber aftertaste.
I've kept it short and to the point with this review and all things considered my appreciation of the gordito leaves me having no worries about recommending the cigar. As I mentioned I am partial to the larger ring gauges and also the maduro wrapper with the Lot 23 and this one was on the goods. It is the cigar I enjoy with a coffee or a dark beer.
