Looks like the Perdomo Reserve blends are changing.
The maduro is getting re-blended and new packaging. It will be called the 10th reserve now...
The champagne will stay the same blend but will move to the new 10th packaging.
The Sun grown Reserve is discontinued... so get them while you can.
The Cameroon Reserve is being discontinued so get them while ya can...
I am not sure about the golf... but they are coming out with a 10th reserve criollo which should be tasty.
So I plan on dropping the rest of my free cash on some Perdomos this next couple of weeks... any one else? :mrgreen:

Zach, have you tried the "mistakes" from CI that are supposedly made by NP? If so, what did you think?

I'll answer for Zach on this one, as the PW is likely busy pretending to work at the moment:
The Fresh wheels are very 'Meh"
The "Mistakes" are for sure Perdomo-esque.
Mistake Cammy - It's good for the price but nothing special, tend to be flat and a little one dimensional.
Mistake Maddy – Hasn’t had one yet but wants’ to try it. Maduro is his favorite all around wrapper but probably not expecting much based on the Cameroon.

Fresh rolled are what they are, inexpensive smokes good for 'those friends with grabby hands' or fishing.

Yeah, tried the frescos and didn't care for them. But the "mistakes" aren't supposed to be the same as the fresh rolled.

Well said... for the money I could smoke the perdomo 2 mistakes if I had to, but I haven't tried the maddies... one day! :mrgreen:

Let em sit a couple months. They get better.

They aren't the same, it's a simmilar price point though and the blend isn't drasiticly different. Either way, Zach thinks they are just so-so at best. He needs to save space for the 09 grape white owls.

I'd be willing to split a bundle two or three ways if someone wants to take a chance and try them...
