LA TRADICION "PERDOMO RESERVE" RECEIVES TOP HONORS IN CIGAR INSIDER MIAMI - Cigar Insider, the exclusive monthly newsletter of Cigar Aficionado magazine and widely recognized as the leading authority on premium cigars, has recognized the La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon premium cigar line in their May 2004 issue. Two cigars, La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon "E" (Epicure) and "F" (Figurado), garnered top honors with a score of 91 (Outstanding) and were also chosen as two of only three "Humidor Selections" awarded in the issue. La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon "D" (Diadema) and "R" (Robusto) also tallied "Outstanding" scores of 90 points each, with the remaining vitolas in the cigar line celebrated as "Very Good to Excellent". Manufactured by Tabacalera Perdomo, S.A., La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon was rated significantly higher than legendary Cuban cigar brands including H. Upmann and Trinidad as well as other popular brands such as Avo, Arturo Fuente and the Zino Platinum Crown Series. La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon was praised for having "beautiful, silky wrappers" with tasting notes mentioning coffee bean, caramel, espresso, cream and vanilla with a toasty aroma and a long, woody finish.
The filler and binder crop comprising La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon is a distinguished and contemplative blend of medium bodied, double-aged Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in the rich, dark soil of the Perdomo family plantations in the Esteli, Condega and Jalapa Valley regions of Nicaragua. The cigar is delicately enveloped in a rare Number 1 Grade genuine African Cameroon wrapper hand-selected by cigar master Nick Perdomo, Sr. La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® is also available in two other cigar editions: a shade-grown "Cuban Café" wrapper and a triple fermented "Maduro" wrapper - both grown and nurtured in the famed Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua. La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® is presented in nine distinctive vitolas: the "F" (4 3/4" x 44/56/52 Figurado); "R" (5" x 54 Robusto); "D" (5 1/4" x 32/54/32 Diadema); "E" (6" x 54 Epicure); "P" (5 1/2" x 55 Perfecto); "C" (7" x 54 Churchill); "B" (6" x 54 Belicoso); "V" (6 3/4" x 32/56/32 Figurado) and the "X" (7" x 54 Torpedo). La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve® Cameroon is carefully packaged in a stylish, space-saving 8-9-8 Spanish cedar box with an eye-catching gun metal finish.
