I don’t know about you – but I love having great cigar shots as the desktop wallpaper on my Macbook Pro. So I thought I’d share them with you when I find good ones. Here’s today’s shot, featuring the Perdomo Lot 23 Cigar!
Nick Perdomo, CEO of Perdomo Cigars, explains the process of how Perdomo tobacco is planted, grown, harvested, cured and fermented. The video contains footage from our Perdomo Factory tour is Esteli, Nicaragua, from March.
UPDATE: The Perdomo Lounge is now open! Click here for details. Jason and I are *very* excited to be able to let you all in on a little secret – we’ve signed the lease on a property which is going to become the first Club Perdomo in Australia! Anyone who has visited Club Perdomo [...]
In this episode, we’re joined again by Perdomo’s Head of Pre-Production, 77 year-old Aristides Garcia, to talk about his secrets for living a long and healthy life! Aristides has smoked about 20 cigars a day since the age of 14 but has never been sick in his life.
Nick Perdomo was the first guest on the first episode of a new cigar podcast called “The Cigar Authority“. He talked about some recent Perdomo news, including new Lot 23 sizes!
On our recent trip to Miami we were fortunate enough to spend some time with Nick Perdomo. Here’s part one of our interview with him. In this episode, Nick tells us a bit about how he got into the cigar business and why he located his farms and factories in Nicaragua.
Aristides Garcia is the Head of Pre-Production (basically everything from when the crops are harvested to when the cigars are rolled) for Perdomo Cigars in Nicaragua. He’s 77 years young and has been in the cigar business for 60-something years. Before joining Perdomo ten years ago, he was the top administrator for all of Cuba [...]
Yesterday Jason and I were flying back from Melbourne, where we had the pleasure of having dinner with Mr Jeremy Oliver, Australia’s #1 wine critic, which included a bottle of the Luciano Sandrone Barolo le Vigne 1999 – truly amazing. I asked Jeremy for his off-the-cuff tasting notes on the wine and that was a [...]
Day Two Another amazing day at the Perdomo Cigars factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. After a terrific breakfast, we headed back to the factory for a tour of the cigar box manufacturing facility. The tour was conducted by a 31-year old Nicaraguan called “David”. He showed tremendous passion for the entire process and went into lots [...]
Well Jason and I are sitting in the lounge at LAX, waiting for our flight back to Oz after an amazing trip! We’ve got lots of video and photos to share with you over coming months from our tour of the Perdomo facilities in Esteli and Miami but as a tease, check out this trailer [...]
What a day! Here’s a quick blow-by-blow. Videos will start to follow when I get a chance to edit them over the next couple of weeks. After a terrific breakfast that included “gallo pinto” (“speckled rooster”), the unofficial national dish of Nicaragua, which is basically rice and pinto beans, fried separately then mixed together, we [...]
Jason and I arrived in Nicaragua yesterday! We flew from Miami International Airport (which, by the way, has to be THE. WORST. AIRPORT. IN. THE. WORLD.) with Hillman, Vincent and Bill from Perdomo Asia, as well as Billy Perdomo and a few guys from the US and Poland, arriving in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, [...]
In this “Friends Of Perdomo” episode of PerdomoVision, we chat with Sydney-based technology consultant Rob James (aka @snaglepus on Twitter) about cigars and single malts, as he tries his very first Perdomo.
Thanks to Eric Brown from The Party Source in Bellevue for tweeting this photo of Nick Perdomo Jr in Esteli, Nicaragua! That’s EXACTLY where Jason and I will be in about 7 days! Can’t wait!
I discovered this 2001 story about Nick Perdomo Jr. on Cigar Aficionado’s site. It’s a great read if you want to learn more about the history of Perdomo. Of course, I hope to get this story on video from the man himself when we’re in Miami next week!
Hillman Lentz is the President of Perdomo Cigars Asia, with responsibility over Asia and the Middle East. He chatted with me recently about the history and philosophy of Perdomo. You can follow Hillman on Twitter and get more information on Club Perdomo Bangkok here.
Check out the photos from Chinese New Year’s at Club Perdomo Bangkok! Tell me you don’t wish you were there!
Jason and I are both big users of foursquare (if you don’t know what that is yet, check out this introduction) and so I’m excited to announce Perdomo’s first ever foursquare promotion! It works like this: if you “check in” to Casa Perdomo in Brisbane (aka “Jason’s Den”) for the very first time, you get [...]
I was pleased today to note that Gregory Mottola from Cigar Aficionado has selected two Perdomo cigars – the Perdomo2 Limited Edition Maduro Epicure and the Perdomo2 Limited Edition Torpedo – in his list of Best Bargain Cigars of 2009. Thanks Gregory!
I’d like to welcome the Perdomo Asia team to the world of blogging! I’m sure Bill and Hillman will have plenty of great cigar-related content to share with us, so if you’re interested in such things, then make sure you subscribe to their feed. Bill has started things with some comments about one of his [...]
Today marks the launch of our new podcast – PerdomoVision. We’ll be chatting with cigar aficionados from around the world about cigars and the cigar lifestyle. Our first guest is James With, actor, director, producer and entrepreneur. This podcast was recorded during our recent visit to Club Perdomo in Bangkok.
Hey folks, Jason and I are back in Oz after a terrific and busy trip to Bangkok. I’ve uploaded a few photos of Club Perdomo Bangkok to our Facebook page if you’re interested. A huge thanks to Hillman and Bill for making us feel so welcome in their town and their club! Also to Club [...]
… and the world’s your oyster. So goes the 80s hit from the musical CHESS (as a big chess player, I’ve always had a soft spot for that song). Jason and i arrived in Bangkok last night about 10pm after a 9 hour flight from Sydney (as I was sitting in business class, I was [...]
