I actually smoked one of these the other night. 2 hour 15 minute smoke, paid $25 for it. I was VERY impressed with the cigar. Since it is a salomon, the burn did take a few minutes to catch up but once it burned past the foot, there were absolutely no burn problems. Thick smoke, great flavor that changed throughout (don’t ask me to describe it because I can’t), great construction, and very strong. One of my brothers also smoked one at the same time and no problems with his either. $25 is a little (okay a LOT) steep for me, but this was a great cigar.

I’ve smoked over 15 of these and have found that the secret to a perfect burn is patience in lighting it. You need to be sure you are giving it a lengthy amount of time to light the wrapper.

Sometimes issues arises because it become a part of complexity.but it is not always there.

I was Lucky to obtain 3 of these cigars. I was informed that only 3000 of this cigar were made, if I am misinformed please correct me. However, this was my first Salomone I ever had, I have been enjoing cigars for 15 years & have a large collection of rare & hard to find sticks, as well as many Cubans. I loved this cigar even though when first lit I found it hard to draw but soon realized that once passed the nipple it opens to about 1/4-1/2 inch. I experienced leathery flavoors,some coffee with spicey flavors with a lot of different nuances of very complex flavors, ending with sweetness cocoa, coffee. The burn for me after smoking 2 of the 3 Ihave{the last one is ageing & plume is forming in my humidor for rare & ageing). This cigar made me a true lover of Salomones, but of course my fav. is still the Arturo Funte Hemmingway Sig. Maduro, which reminds me of choclate egg creams growing up in Brooklyn,NY. I welcome any feedback. Thank you, BOBBYG

I am interested in acquiring empty Salomones boxes, if there are still any out there. I am an instrument maker, and have discovered that the Salomones boxes make a wonderful guitar. The top makes a great soundboard, and the trrapezoid shape looks really good. If anyone has them, I’m interested in acquiring them.Thanks for your time,

I agree with all you said, but mine draw fine and burn evenly. I was given a few from a friend before I invested in a box. Your review has given me pause. Thank you. I hope you are offered a new box as the burn issue is wrong.

I have smoked around a box and a half of these cigars from different shops. I have had only to re-light once on some cigars towards the end of the cigar. This cigar burned incredible with lots of smoke. We have smoked this cigar during poker night and all agreed individually this was a great cigar and was an enjoyable experience. This vitola is hard to make and only the experience rollers can do so properly. It seems by your comments that perhaps a couple of boxes were done by a less experienced up and comer roller and thus the outcome of your experience. This cigar taste incredible (mild spice, sweetness. coffee, cocoa, leather) with a smooth complexity to it. I have smoked some of the best cigars available including Cubans. This cigar instantly tells me there is Cuban stock in it. It taste like it, smells like it and it’s enjoyable from beggining to end.. I am only adding to this journal so if anyone is thinking of having one please by all means do so. Then you can add your own experience to this journal.

That is shatty to use two wrappers instead of just one. So just to be straight the prefecto tip is supposed to the same homogeneous wrapper as the rest of the cigar? I always thought it was a little add on that was probably a trimming from the cuts to make the head cap. I’ll have to look more closely at the figurados I have with these same tips at the foot.

With La Flor Dominicana sending me a replacement box we studied the cigars that were left in the bad box….

Upon futher review 3 of the remain 7 had separate leafs at the perfect tip. We even took one cigar and took it apart revealing that there were 2 seperate pieces of wrapper used to make the cigar which is appalling considering the price of these sticks

I am hoping the replacement box is better.
