DESCRIPTION: The Perdomo Lot 23 is named after one of Tabacalera Perdomo's prestigious farms located near its factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.
Perdomo planted Lot 23 in 2000 and it was there that the rich, golden-hued tobacco leaves were harvested and then fermented for a full year and then aged in bales for an additional 4 years.

When the tobacco was ready for blending, Nick Perdomo was at first shocked when he realized that the tobacco from Lot 23 did not blend well with tobaccos from other countries, but was fantastic when blended with tobacco from the very same field. So, in a move rarely seen in the cigar industry, the resulting Lot 23 cigar blend is a combination of filler and binder tobaccos grown exclusively on the Lot 23 farm. That blend was topped with a Connecticut seed grown wrapper leaf from Ecuador.
