Tasting notes

From the very first glance, we were immediately drawn to the cigar's shape. This Salomon certainly has a regal air with its triple gold band.

Its wrapper is close to perfection: a beautiful, taut chocolate brown with visible veins, the wrapper is smooth and oily. The burn is perfect from start to finish.

Upon lighting, the smoke is already beautifully voluptuous and dense. We appreciate having a tighter draw at the start, which concentrates the leather aromas and animal notes. Once we reach the "meatiest" part of the cigar, the draw loosens and an explosion of chocolate and peppery flavours begin their dance with our taste buds.

This cigar is a marvel of complex, deep flavours. Halfway through, it immerses us in a cedar forest dotted with spicy peppery notes.

Pairing

First tasting with white tea, which elegantly allows its flavours to fully unfold.

Tasted a second time with a "Mango Paradise" smoothie from Zenhausern, it's a real treat. To make it at home, the ingredients are: mango, passion fruit, pineapple, lemon, and apple juice.

Momentum

Enjoy it at any time of day and let yourself be carried away by a poetic blend of flavours and a multifaceted tasting experience.
