TABACALERA PERDOMO ISSUES EDICION de SILVIO® GIFT COLLECTION MIAMI - Tabacalera Perdomo S.A. today announced the limited release of their highly acclaimed EDICIÓN de SILVIO® cigars in a gift collection containing five cigars. The company stated that shipment of EDICIÓN de SILVIO® gift collection began earlier this month to authorized tobacconists.
EDICIÓN de SILVIO® is hailed as the "crown jewel" of Perdomo's family of premium cigar brands and a tribute to honor the memory of Nick Perdomo Jr.'s late grandfather and mentor, Silvio Perdomo. The secretive blend of savory all-Cuban seed tobaccos that Nick Perdomo, Jr. and his late grandfather Silvio began aging before his passing in 1997 have been meticulously crafted into a superior smoking experience described as a mosaic of bold, rich flavors with and undercurrent of delicate and complex tones. Each gift collection, stunningly presented in smaller version of the rustic EDICIÓN de SILVIO® "Spanish Galleon" tobacco chest, holds five cigars of the same size made in Silvio Perdomo's most cherished vitolas: the "Robusto" (5" x 54); "Double Corona" (7 5/8" x 50) and "No. 2 Torpedo" (6 1/8" x 54). The cigars are delicately stocked in a slide-top, perforated Spanish cedar caché surrounded by and continuously exposed to the boldly fragrant shavings of a 120-year old Spanish cedar tree. These shavings are carefully hand-carved from the rich oily heartwood of the tree, infusing a delicate aroma and a distinctively elegant finish to each and every cigar. The wax-sealed cigar caché and Spanish cedar shavings are then concealed under lock and key within a rustic "Spanish Galleon" tobacco chest. This retail price for each gift box is $100.00 for "Robusto", $125.00 for "Double Corona" and $137.50 for "No. 2 Torpedo". Tabacalera Perdomo S.A. is one of the finest and most distinguished premium cigar manufacturers in the world.
