MIAMI - Tabacalera Perdomo S.A., one of the world's most distinguished cigar manufacturers, today announced that the company is reintroducing the PERDOMO FRESCO^® cigar brand to appeal to a broader segment of the premium cigar market. The company stated that orders for the new brand are being accepted and shipment to retailers will begin January 9th.

"Although we're a premium cigar manufacturer, I've always wanted to introduce a new blend at an affordable price for the everyday cigar smoker," stated third-generation cigar maker Nick Perdomo. "I'm extremely pleased that cigar enthusiasts will be able to smoke a premium, long filler Perdomo cigar at an incredibly modest price."

The new PERDOMO FRESCO^® blend is comprised of savory long filler tobaccos grown in the rich, dark soil of the Perdomo farm in Esteli. The binders are carefully selected from Perdomo's crops grown in the Jalapa Valley region. Graced with a golden Connecticut shade-grown wrapper, PERDOMO FRESCO^® is a mild- to medium-bodied cigar that is creamy, smooth and well-balanced. Consumers may choose from four traditional sizes packaged in eye-catching bundles of 25: Robusto (5" x 50); Toro (6" x 50); Churchill (7" x 50) and Torpedo (6 ½" x 54) with suggested retail prices per cigar ranging from $1.90 to $2.20.
