These punch well over their weight. Great flavour, full bodied & lots of smoke. Always a great burn with little or no touch ups needed and always built well.

Received this as a birthday present so thankfully I didn’t waste my money on it, because I got to say, I have never had a more unpleasant smoking experience. For a £21 stick made in the same factory as AJ Fernandez, to say the build and quality control was abysmal would be an understatement. Runs and tunnels on the underside required constant burn corrections and very little if any smoking. Sadly, it was only the final third that resembled a proper cigar, and I could actually smoke and taste it.
Flavour-wise, it was actually a very nice blend but as stated I only got to experience the final third or so. WouldÂ’ve love to be able to try the whole thing.
As my brothers cigar (exact same) was burning just fine, my verdict on the Salomon is that quality control is very very hit and miss. I would avoid the Salomon like the plague and try a different vitola instead. CanÂ’t recommend this one at all.

Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique - 70cl 56.3%
by Anonymous
Got a bottle of this delivered super quick! I’ve only had 1 other kavalan before this and thought why not take a gamble with this one. So happy I did, definitely paid off. It is quite a light whisky, but works super well after a heavy meal. Light, but not without character. Refreshing fruitiness comes through with the oaky-ness keeping it grounded.

Looks great displayed on my bar cart and tastes even better.

Yes as the two reviews before me state this tobacco has an extremely over bearing perfumed smell on the initial opening and being a newbie to pipes I got impatient and attempted to smoke a bowl after just 5 mins of opening, Ill be quite frank, I thought it was very unpleasant it reminded me of perfume and whiskey but not in a pleasant way. I then emptied the whole lot and put it back loose in the tine and left the lid off as it is quite compressed and moist.
The day after I found that the smell of the tobacco had changed a lot, to me smelled of a nice sweet normal tobacco. I lit up a bowl and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was and how it had transformed. To my pallet it does have a very nice complex flavour to it, subtle sweetness and floral/fruity nuttiness about it. As far as room note goes its a nice aroma with hints of what you taste.
I give this a personal rating of 3 beacause if you are like me and looking for something with a bit more flavour for example, I really like the principe Chico chocolate cigars and want something akin to that flavour and aroma wise
