Perdomo Double Aged 12-Year Vintage Salomon
Salomon is the most distinctive name on the Double Aged 12-Year Vintage size chart. Its 6⅛-inch length and 54 ring gauge set it apart from the family’s 56-ring Robusto, Epicure and Churchill and its 60-ring Gordo Extra. The cigar is offered in Connecticut, Sun Grown and Maduro. All three belong to Perdomo’s program of bale aging followed by a two-year bourbon-barrel stage for every tobacco component. Salomon brings a separate format identity to a collection whose defining feature is the preparation of the leaf.
