PRIDE & PASSION: RTDA 2003 PREVIEW

On the eve before the opening of RTDA 2003, Tabacalera Perdomo hosted a close, intimate gathering of their closest friends and business associates at Nashville's premier steakhouse, Morton's of Chicago, for an exclusive preview of Nick Perdomo's latest premium cigar masterpieces: the new Cuban Parejo Belicoso; La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve Cameroon series; Estate Seleccion Cameroon and the crown jewel of Perdomo's family of premium cigar brands - Edicion de Silvio - named after the Perdomo family patriarch Silvio Perdomo. Among the invitees were 50 tobacconists from across the country, along with eager media representatives from Cigar Aficionado, Smoke Magazine, Tobacconist Magazine, Smokeshop Magazine and Nashville Lifestyles. In addition, over 40 local "Perdomoficionados" turned out for a celebration of culinary delights and savory spirits paired with the latest Perdomo creations. An outstanding time was had by all!!
