Perdomo -- Nick's Sticks - Toro

Search for the best budget cigar starts here! First up, the all new Nick's Sticks Little Havana Blend from Perdomo.
OCCASION: Building a work bench for the garage PRICE: $4
BRAND: Nick's Sticks Little Havana Blend - Sun Grown (from Perdomo)

GAUGE: 54 LENGTH: 5-1/2"
SHAPE NAME: Toro

FILLER: Cuban Seed Nicaraguan
BINDER: Cuban See Nicaraguan WRAPPER: Sun Grown

APPEARANCE: There were a couple of small blemishes in the wrapper. The wrapper was tawny colored, with minor veins.

CONSTRUCTION: The cigar was well made, and had no hard or soft spots.

DRAW:
START: Good 1/2: Good 3/4: Good

BURN:
START: Even 1/2: Even 3/4: Even

TASTING NOTES: The spicy sun grown wrapper really shined in the stick, and especially at this price. Lots of woody cedar, earthy flavors with the sun grown wrapper providing a bright, spicy backdrop. Even with the spice of the sun grown wrapper, this remained a medium bodied cigar that even new puffers would find easy to smoke.

OTHER NOTES: Nick's Sticks Little Havana Blend cigars are also available in a Maduro or Connecticut wrapper.

EVALUATION: Overall, for the price point, I thought this was a wonderful, very flavorful cigar. This puro had lots of good flavors, a spicy character, was well constructed, and burned even throughout the smoke. This little sun grown stick is going to be hard to beat!
