La Flor Dominicana Salomon
The La Flor Dominicana Salomon was a limited release (only 3000 boxes made) perfecto cigar that was rated by Cigar Aficionado at a 95 – a rating that a lot of cuban cigars never get close to! These “Salomones” cigars are huge and weigh in at 7 inches long with a 64 ring guage. It’s a good thing they only come 10 cigars per box because these things will cure your cigar craving for quite some time. Litto Gomez blended these cigars in late 2008 and decided to limit the product due to the size being atypical.
The Key Notes to the Cigar:
As mentioned, La Flor Dominicana went all out with the Salomones. They put it out as a limited edition, made it a huge Figurado shape, and blended it perfectly. This drove the guys from Cigar Aficionado nuts apparently because it’s almost impossible to get a 95 rating from them. You will likely taste plenty of spice from the Ligero blend that La Flor Dominicana has made so famous. There are also notes of black pepper, cream, and full-bodied smoke. The draw on these cigars should be perfect and smoke should easily pour from it.
Where to Buy La Flor Dominicana Salomones:
La Flor Dominicana is pretty straight-forward with their shops and where to buy. These are a limited production and it’s likely that only the top stores have the cigars available. We would definitely suggest using our sponsors to buy the cigars and searching through their massive inventory for the best prices. If you find that these cigars are all sold out it will not be surprise. With only 3000 boxes made, the La Flor Dominicana Salomon is going to be a tough one to get ahold of – especially after that 95 rating. There are great alternatives to this cigar however and we encourage you to check out Tex Cigars for the best prices on all the La Flor Dominiana Ligero line. There is little difference between the Salomon that got the 95 rating and the La Flor Dominiana Ligero line. The have the same blends – only the sizes differ. Pick out a nice Torpedo or Toro and you’re sure to get as close as possible to the 95 rated Salomon cigar.
