The Ultimate Guide to Perdomo Cigars

Perdomo Cigars is a family-owned brand celebrated for exceptional craftsmanship, consistent quality, and a commitment to Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos. Founded by Nick Perdomo Jr. in the early 1990s, the company blends Cuban heritage with modern production techniques to deliver a diverse range of flavor profiles — from smooth and creamy to rich and full-bodied.

Whether it’s the refined Perdomo Reserve Champagne or the bold Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro, each cigar reflects decades of passion, dedication, and hands-on quality control.

The Perdomo legacy begins with Silvio Perdomo, who worked in Cuba’s cigar industry before the revolution. His son, Nick Perdomo Sr., also learned the art of cigar making in Cuba before immigrating to the U.S. After years of building experience, Nick Perdomo Jr. founded Perdomo Cigars in Miami in 1992.

By the early 2000s, the company had moved production to Estelí, Nicaragua, building one of the largest and most advanced cigar factories in the country. Perdomo’s philosophy — complete vertical integration from seed to final packaging — ensures every step of production is controlled for quality and consistency.

All Perdomo cigars are produced at the Tabacalera Perdomo factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Production hallmarks include:

• Vertical Integration – Perdomo grows, cures, ferments, ages, and rolls all its tobacco in-house.
  
• Extended Aging – Many tobaccos are aged in bourbon barrels for added depth and complexity.
  
• Meticulous Quality Control – Each cigar undergoes multiple inspections before boxing.
  

Perdomo’s portfolio ranges from elegant, mild smokes to powerful, full-bodied blends — all made with 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos.
