• Ep8 • Why Cigar Brands Fail, Why Brands Succeed 10.07.2026 21min

  Send us Fan Mail Most cigar brands don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because the fundamentals collapse under real pressure: inconsistent tobacco, unreliable supply, pricing that feels like a cash grab, or a brand that looks great once but can’t deliver the same premium cigar experience again. We get honest about what separates long-running cigar brands from short-lived launches, and why “execution” is the word that keeps coming up. We walk through the Perdomo approach to cigar m...
• Ep7 • Cigar MythBusters : Part 1 The Right Way To Store Cigars For Flavor & Construction 24.06.2026 17min

  Send us Fan Mail The cigar world loves rules of thumb, but some “truths” quietly ruin great cigars. We kick off our Cigar Mythbusters series by taking aim at the famous 70% humidity at 70°F guideline and explaining why it can be the wrong target for many modern blends, especially thick Nicaraguan tobacco. When tobacco acts like a sponge, too much moisture can choke the burn, dull the flavor, and turn a premium smoking experience into a string of relights. From the factory floor to your home ...
• Ep6 • Small Vs Large Ring Gauge Cigars… Explained 10.06.2026 23min

  Send us Fan Mail {Stereo Audio + Re-upload} Skinny cigars have a reputation for “purity,” and big ring gauges get labeled as a trend. We want to cut through the noise and talk about what actually happens when thick Nicaraguan tobacco meets a small circumference. From the factory floor to the farms, we’ve seen how leaf texture, airflow, and burn temperature can make the difference between a cool, flavorful smoke and a tight draw that turns sharp and hot. We dig into why Nicaraguan tobacco gro...
• Ep5 • Do We Smoke With Our Eyes Or Our Palate? 26.05.2026 20min

  Send us Fan Mail Your next cigar might taste different the moment you stop judging it by the wrapper. We kick things off with a deceptively simple question: do we taste with our palate or do we taste with our eyes first? From there, we get honest about the biggest trap in cigar smoking and cigar buying: assuming a Connecticut wrapper must be mild, a Sun Grown must be medium, and a Maduro must be strong. That shortcut feels helpful, but it can send you to the wrong blend and the wrong experien...
• Ep4 • From Father to Son: Building the Future of Perdomo Cigars 11.05.2026 20min

  Send us Fan Mail PCA 2026 in New Orleans hit us like a wave. Our booth stayed slammed, orders kept rolling, and for the first time in a long time the energy felt like a true turning point for Perdomo Cigars. Nicholas and I sit down right after the show to explain why Perdomo Legacy became the headline, why retailers showed up ready to expand their selections, and what it means when you see that kind of real-world pull from the market. We also unpack something we’ll never take for grant...
• Ep3 • First of It’s Kind: Perdomo Reserve Champagne 28.04.2026 18min

  Send us Fan Mail A Connecticut-wrapped cigar that actually tastes creamy, rich, and complex sounds obvious now, but it wasn’t in the late 90s. We’re Nicholas Perdomo and Nick Perdomo, and we’re finally telling the real Perdomo Reserve Champagne story: how one phone call about aging Connecticut seed wrapper inventory turned into a blend that changed what people expected from a “light wrapper” premium handmade cigar. We get specific about what made Champagne different from the crowded hu...
• Ep2 • Why Patience Is The Best Cigar Tool 13.04.2026 24min

  Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to ruin a great cigar is to rush the first 60 seconds. Nicholas Perdomo sits down with his dad, Nick Perdomo, to break down the hands-on cigar basics that most people never learn: how to cut a cigar cleanly, how to light a cigar without scorching flavor, and how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to harsh smoke and constant relights. We get specific about cigar cutting techniques, comparing the straight cut, V-cut, and punch cut with clear pros and cons f...
• Ep1 • Father & Son Handcraft a PERDOMO LEGACY 27.03.2026 26min

  Send us Fan Mail A new cigar blend is one thing. Building a cigar with your dad, then pulling back the curtain on every decision, is something else entirely. We’re Nicholas Perdomo and Nick Perdomo, and we’re kicking off the Perdomo Podcast Show with the story people keep asking for: Perdomo Legacy Father and Son. We talk through why we finally chose to make a limited edition cigar, how small lots from our farms can be too rare for regular production but too good to ignore, and why this coll...
