There’s something truly captivating about a well-crafted cigar sampler, especially one bearing the name Perla Del Mar. Translated from Spanish as Pearl of the Sea, this moniker evokes the golden era of cigarmaking in Cuba, a time when such a title symbolised not only luxury but also refinement and the clarity of craftsmanship. Although this exquisite selection originates from Nicaragua, its essence resonates with the classic rhythm of its Cuban roots.

Crafted by J.C. Newman, America’s oldest family-owned premium cigar company, this sampler presents a harmonious blend of several expressions from the Perla Del Mar line. Each cigar is meticulously rolled in Newman’s boutique factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Within, you’ll typically encounter a diverse range of wrappers, including Maduro, Connecticut Shade, and Corojo, each encasing a Nicaraguan long-filler core that promises a rich and nuanced smoking experience.

The Connecticut-wrapped Toro offers a velvety and mellow smoke, adorned with subtle hints of toasted almonds and light hay. It’s an ideal choice for a contemplative afternoon spent in the garden or after a hearty roast. In contrast, the Corojo version leans towards a spicier profile, featuring cedar, cocoa, and a touch of pepper. The Maduro, on the other hand, boasts a more robust flavour profile, characterised by notes of coffee, earth, and cocoa, making it a perfect option for those seeking depth without overwhelming strength.

Each cigar is box-pressed in a traditional manner, ensuring a comfortable draw and a slow, even burn. This sampler invites exploration, whether you’re a newcomer to Perla Del Mar or a seasoned aficionado seeking to reacquaint yourself with a brand that honours its heritage while embracing modern precision.
