Davidoff Royal Salomones

Description

The Davidoff Royal Release Salomones is part of Davidoff’s “Royal Release” line — the company’s ultra‑premium series built from specially selected tobaccos, extended aging, and high‑end craftsmanship. 
The “Salomones” format denotes a large, impressive size: this cigar is approximately 8¼″ (≈210 mm) in length with a 57 ring‑gauge (≈22.8 mm) in some listings. 
With its bold size, refined materials and meticulous construction, it is built for slow, contemplative smoking sessions by those who appreciate luxury in cigar form.

Flavor Profile

The Royal Release Salomones offers a refined and evolving experience:

• On the initial draw: Notes of creamy wood, leather, dark chocolate, oak and subtle spice.

• As it develops: Mentions of nuts, coffee beans, toasted wood, mineral/earth undertones, and a subtle cedar or fresh wood influence.

• Finish: A long, smooth finish with elegance and complexity rather than raw strength; layered transitions over time.

Why Choose the Royal Release Salomones

• A true luxury cigar: Davidoff positions this as one of their most exclusive blends, with seeds, wrappers and production all tailored for the “Royal” series.

• The Salomones format is remarkable in size, making it ideal for a very slow, thoughtful smoking event.

• Exceptional craftsmanship: wrappers like Aromatica Dominicana reserved only for this line; long aging and small production.

• A candidate for both enjoyment and collection: Because of its presentation and rarity, it appeals to aficionados and collectors alike.

Storage & Usage Tips

• Store in a humidor at ~65‑70% relative humidity and around ~18‑21 °C to maintain wrapper oils and tobacco quality.

• Because of the large ring gauge and length, use a sharp straight‑cut or V‑cut that ensures a smooth draw; take moderate, steady puffs to allow flavour development over the longer session.

• Pairing suggestions: Given its elegance, try an aged single‑malt whisky, fine cognac, or premium rum — the cigar’s wood, coffee and dark chocolate notes will pair beautifully.

• Occasion: This cigar is suited for special occasions, milestones or when you have time to sit back and enjoy a lengthy session rather than a quick smoke.
