"in a nutshell this is the benchmark for taste....period"
its a great cigar i smoke one almost everyday however if you are in a hot dry climate and don t smoke it immediately. its biggest short coming will be apparent. the wrapper is so thin and weak it will unravel, burst from an ashtray tap and unwind. having said that, i cant find anything that tastes as good. I have cigar glue and I save unsmoked wrapper humidified on my desk to facilitate my continued use.

"great value"
I m not a cigar expert but I do buy five-packs semi regularly and found these to be far and away the best bang for the buck.

"Mild flavor, long finish"
Started off great. Went out easily if left alone for a minute.

"Doesn t get much better for a medium price cigar."
Moved this cigar to my every day cigar along with its Champagne Noir cousin.

"Draw problems hurt an otherwise excellent smoke."
Smoked the champagne epicure for many years and loved them. In the last several months the draw has become very restricted in some and I ve been tossing about 2 cigars per box because of plugged flow. On some of the latter I ve found wet leaves in the middle. A tight pack is nice but not to the point of limiting draw and causing plugged flow in some. No more epicures for me.

"Fantastic, smooth %26 tasteful"
The Epicure s masterpiece! I have tasted many quality mild to medium cigars, but this unique Perdomo Reserve Champagne, I would not replace with anything else. This cigar has been one of my favorites from 2009.

"I hope you can do better Perdomo"
Sorry to say, but nothing special, just boatloads of nicotine. Flavors were much better when it first arrived. The draw was good, but the burn became extinguished when left unattended.

"Nicotine Monster"
Super high in nicotine. This has knocked me out on several nights. Flavors are terrific in the beginning, reminiscent of good Cuban tobacco, but they only seem to last for the first third of the stick. I was super excited about this at first, but I think I prefer the Habano Connecticut now.

"Love the Leaf!"
The Champagne has been my favorite cigar for the last 4 years. Buttery smooth yet complex smoke with a nice cool burn.
