DAVIDOFF ROYAL RELEASE SALOMONES SINGLES

Review from Halfwheel: 

Dubbed the Royal Release, the line consists of two different vitolas: a 5 1/2 x 55 Robusto and an 8 1/4 x 57 Salomones, both of which are packaged in 10-count lacquer boxes with a royal blue color scheme. The violas are the same as the previously released Royal Robusto and Royal Salomones, but incorporate a completely different blend, notably an exclusive Aromatica Dominicana wrapper that has been aged for a minimum of eight years instead of the Ecuadorian wrapper that was used on the original cigars.

According to Davidoff, there are only eight rollers who work on the Royal Release cigars, each of which has at least 15 years experience.

There is no other word to describe the Davidoff Royal Release Salomones, other than stunning. The wrapper is a mottled dark espresso brown that is almost literally dripping with oil, while the cigar itself is fairly spongy when squeezed, and both the cap and nipple foot look to be expertly rolled. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of hay, earth, dark chocolate, coffee beans, bread, barley and molasses, while the cold draw is full of cedar, dark cocoa nibs, leather, a slight soapiness and raisin sweetness.
