Perdomo ESV 1991

I smoke a Perdomo ESV 1991 last night. Again, its hard to review a cigar having only smoked one example, but it is all I had. I smoked a Prestigo, a 6 1/2 x 54 pyramid. It had a light colored, aged Connecticut shade wrapper. It was a bit lumpy, but not a bad looking cigar. The wrapper tasted very spicy. I also noticed one or two green spots on the wrapper, like what you sometimes see on cuban wrapper leaf. The taste started out rather bland, almost cardboard like. However, after smoking the first third, it changed to a woody, slightly sweet taste. The cigar also increased in strength. The burn was a bit erratic, and towards the end it started to burn hot, which suprised me because this sized cigar usually doesn't burn so hot during the last few inches of the smoke. It produced a fair amount of rich, aromatic smoke. The aroma matches the taste--woody and sweet. I will have to try a few more examples before I would buy a box of these. Overall a great smelling cigar, but its main detraction was the burn problems.
