Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro

The Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro combines a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with carefully selected Nicaraguan tobacco in a broad 6 × 60 format. Its distinctive Tampa-style soft box-press makes the cigar comfortable to hold while allowing the large blend to burn steadily when smoked at a measured pace.

Handmade at the J.C. Newman PENSA factory, this Maduro uses aged binder and long-filler leaves sourced from four Nicaraguan tobacco-growing regions: Pueblo Nuevo, La Reina, Condega and Jalapa. The resulting profile balances the richness of a Maduro wrapper with earthy Nicaraguan depth, natural sweetness and a dry cocoa finish.

Genuine Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro Wrapper

The cigar’s dark appearance comes from its genuine Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Broadleaf tobacco is valued for its thickness, natural oils and ability to develop earthy, cocoa-like sweetness during fermentation.

Rather than making the cigar overwhelmingly strong, the wrapper adds depth and texture to the underlying Nicaraguan blend. Expect a flavor-led Maduro experience with coffee, earth and cocoa supported by restrained sweetness.

Aged Nicaraguan Tobacco from Four Regions

Beneath the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper are Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos selected from Pueblo Nuevo, La Reina, Condega and Jalapa.

Using tobacco from several regions helps create a layered profile. Earthy and woody qualities form the foundation, while coffee, honey and cocoa emerge as the cigar develops. J.C. Newman confirms the blend and production details on its official Perla del Mar page.

Tampa-Style Soft Box-Pressed Construction

Perla del Mar cigars are characterized by what J.C. Newman calls a Tampa-style soft box-press. The shape has defined edges without the severe compression found in some sharply box-pressed cigars.

This construction gives the Perla del Mar box-pressed Double Toro a comfortable feel and a broad surface area. The open draw and large ring gauge can create generous smoke, so slow, controlled puffs are recommended.

Flavor Profile

The Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro cigar commonly develops:

• Cedar
• Earth
• Coffee bean
• Dry cocoa powder
• Honey
• Dark natural sweetness
• Gentle pepper and wood

The opening generally emphasizes cedar, earth and coffee. Honey-like sweetness may appear through the middle, while cocoa becomes more noticeable towards the finish. Individual flavor perception can vary with storage, smoking pace and palate.

Strength and Body

J.C. Newman officially positions Perla del Mar Maduro at medium strength. Cigar Aficionado assessed the reviewed Double Toro as medium-full.

For practical buying guidance, this cigar is best described as medium to medium-full. Its broad format and rich wrapper create considerable flavor and body, although its nicotine strength may feel more controlled than that of an aggressively full-strength Maduro.

Cigar Aficionado Rating

The Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro received 89 points from Cigar Aficionado in its October 2023 review.

Double Toro, Grande or Gordo?

The manufacturer’s official name for this 6 × 60 vitola is Double Toro. Some cigar publications and retailers may categories the same dimensions as a Grande or Gordo.

For product naming and SEO, use Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro consistently. Grande and Gordo can appear as supporting format descriptions but should not replace the official product name.

How Long Does It Take to Smoke?

Allow approximately 75–100 minutes for this 6 × 60 cigar. The exact duration depends on smoking pace, environmental conditions and how far the cigar is smoked.

A slow pace is particularly important with a large ring gauge. Puffing too frequently can overheat the wrapper, make the flavors harsher and shorten the experience.

Cutting the Perla del Mar Double Toro

A sharp double-blade guillotine cutter is a practical choice for its 60-ring-gauge cap. Remove only enough of the cap to expose the filler while leaving the shoulder intact.

A wide cigar punch may also work, but a small punch can restrict airflow on a cigar of this size. Explore suitable cigar cutters and accessories before preparing the cigar.

Lighting a 60-Ring-Gauge Cigar

Toast the foot gradually while rotating the cigar above the flame. Once its outer edge begins to glow evenly, take a few gentle draws while continuing to rotate it.

Because the foot is wide, avoid holding the flame directly against one spot. An even light helps prevent tunneling and supports a cleaner burn.

Storage in Pakistan

Store the Perla del Mar Maduro Double Toro in a properly maintained humidor, generally around 65–70% relative humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, air-conditioning vents and rapid temperature changes.

Pakistan’s heat and seasonal humidity can affect both combustion and wrapper condition. Read our guide to storing cigars in Karachi’s heat and humidity for practical storage advice.
