- New Perdomo Habano® cigars will soon be available in five sizes: Robusto (5 x 52); Toro (5 1/2 x 54); Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54); Gordo (6 x 60) and Presidente (7 x 56). The suggested retail price will range from $5.00 to $7.00. The cigars are made with a unique blend of Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from three different regions, and according to Nick Perdomo, “I believe that the beautiful Cuban-seed Corojo wrappers and the triple-fermented Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers compliment this unique filler blend by adding rich, bold flavors with a smooth satisfying finish.”
