MIAMI - Cigar Aficionado, the world renowned New York based cigar lifestyle magazine widely recognized as the leading authority on premium cigars, has recognized La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® Cameroon "X" in their June 2004 issue as the #1 rated commercially available brand in the United States with a score of 91 (Outstanding). The La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® Cameroon "X" was lauded as "Big and oily, with a lush draw and even burn, this figurado has oomph. Sweet leather, dark toast and coffee notes combine on the palate for a tasty, medium- to full-bodied smoke."

The La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® features a distinguished and contemplative blend of medium bodied, double-aged Cuban-seed tobaccos. Grown in the rich, dark soil of the Perdomo family plantation in Esteli, Nicaragua, the brand extension is available in three distinctly separate "editions": the Perdomo Reserve "Cameroon" features a subtle, sweet Number 1 Grade African Cameroon wrapper with notes of sweet leather and coffee. The Perdomo Reserve "Cuban Café" is graced with a shade-grown Nicaraguan wrapper that imparts a perfect balance of complex tastes that include coffee, almonds and cedar with a smooth, clean finish. The Perdomo Reserve "Maduro" offers a triple fermented Nicaraguan wrapper that yields a more subtle taste with notes of semi-sweet cocoa and coffee with a long, satisfying finish.

La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® is presented in nine distinctive vitolas: the "F" (4 3/4" x 44/56/52 Figurado); "R" (5" x 54 Robusto); "D" (5 1/4" x 32/54/32 Diadema); "E" (6" x 54 Epicure); "P" (5 1/2" x 55 Perfecto); "C" (7" x 54 Churchill); "B" (6" x 54 Belicoso); "V" (6 3/4" x 32/56/32 Figurado) and the widely celebrated "X" (7" x 54 Torpedo).

La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® is carefully packaged in stylish, space-saving 8-9-8 Spanish cedar boxes. Each edition of the La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® collection is distinguished by boxes finished in a classically elegant pearl white ("Cuban Café") or a bold and brilliant ruby red ("Maduro"). The highly rated La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve^® box features an eye-catching gun metal silver finish.
