The Salomones 2008 – La Casa del Habano Exclusivo is a highly sought-after release, specially created for La Casa del Habano. This exclusive vitola measures 184 x 57 (Salomones format) and was produced to commemorate the unique partnership between Habanos S.A. and the global network of La Casa del Habano stores. Known for its impressive size and complex flavor profile, this limited-edition cigar offers a rare and luxurious smoking experience.
I'm not sure if it was my palate tonight but this cigar is the most complex and flavorful Cuban cigar I've had to date.
I didn't find much flavor with the cold draw, but once lit, the taste evolved from a cedar, woody taste I've come to associate with Partagas, to the last 2/3 having a more creamy taste. I detected strong notes of vanilla, graham cracker, molasses and eventually sweet butter (almost like kettle corn!). At the end, the resulting hot little nub burned my fingers and lips as I had a hard time putting it down and saying goodbye. The only flaw I found was an uneven burn (which I have experienced sometimes with perfectos), but I was able to coax it along with a periodic zap from my lighter. What a cigar!

/Cigar Reviewer André
The sheer size of this cigar makes it the most wonderfully tactile stick in the whole Cuban cigar line up. It looks like a cigar ought to look and feels weighty. I am amazed there are any of these cigars left at all they are so tasty. Rich, deep and lustrous. Time consuming in the best way possible and yet not too strong at all. A gentle giant. Send your cigar butler for some first thing!
I smoked the first from my TUA JUL 20 box back in April for my birthday and it was superb. They don't need too long

I have a box dated SEP21, I want to let them age a bit before smoking one. Look to experience one soon.
