Ring Gauge: 57 | Length: 184 mm | Count: 10 | Shape: Double Perfecto | Factory Name: Salomon
This salomon is heavily creased from the cigar mold. It’s a floral, woody smoke with an underlying nuttiness. A pleasant and medium-bodied cigar.
Sublime tapers make this a beautiful salomon to behold. It’s salty with tangy touches of picked ginger and some woodiness but the smoke is muted. An uneven burn corrects itself.
A double-tapered figurado that smokes well, offering a mostly woody profile with some sweet-and-salty notes of leather and cinnamon.
In Cuba, Cuaba Salomon are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.
For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Cuaba Salomon cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Cuaba Salomon cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Cuaba Salomon cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.
Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.
The most seamless approach is to purchase Cuaba Salomon directly through us online or at our retail shop in Havana, Cuba. Even if your Cuaba Salomon cigars were not sourced through us, our team can assist in arranging everything for you while you are in Cuba, ensuring a smooth and discreet experience.
When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.
For those seeking a more effortless experience, shipping Cuaba Salomon is often the preferred option—particularly when traveling with larger quantities or without full documentation.
Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.
When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.
If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.
Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.
If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Cuaba Salomon, just keep it simple and say cigars.
Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.
It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your Cuaba Salomon.
You feel it in the draw smooth, effortless and in the even burn that follows, despite the complex shape. That doesn’t happen by accident. Cuaba rollers are chosen specifically for figurados, and it shows in every inch of the Salomón. There’s a quiet confidence in how it performs, like a craftsman who doesn’t need to announce his skill. You just enjoy it, puff by puff, grateful that someone took the time to do it right.
At first, it’s refined and understated cedar, a soft sweetness, maybe a touch of honeyed spice. As the cigar warms, it finds its voice: toasted nuts, leather, a whisper of pepper that dances rather than shouts. By the final third, everything comes together with depth and balance, never harsh, always composed. It’s the kind of progression that keeps you present, attentive like following the rhythm of a slow Cuban bolero as the night deepens.
This is a cigar with character, but it doesn’t demand bravado. An experienced smoker will appreciate the craftsmanship and evolution, but a newcomer patient and curious can enjoy it just as much. The key is time and respect: smoke it slowly, let it guide you. I’ve always believed cigars like this teach you something, no matter where you are on your journey if you’re willing to listen.
The first thing you notice is the shape elegant, almost ceremonial. That double figurado silhouette isn’t just for show; it’s a nod to an old Cuban tradition that demands real skill at the rolling table. When I light a Cuaba Salomón, the smoke opens slowly, deliberately, like a conversation that takes its time. The shape concentrates the aromas, giving you a gentle start that builds with grace. It reminds me that some pleasures are meant to unfold, not rush best enjoyed when you lean back and let the moment breathe.
This is not an everyday cigar and that’s precisely its charm. I save it for evenings when there’s nothing to rush: after a long dinner, maybe with a glass of aged rum or a dry cognac, when the air is warm and conversation comes easy. It’s a cigar for reflection, for marking something meaningful, even if that meaning is simply being alive and unhurried in the moment.
Cuaba Cuban Cigars: The Art of Figurados In the world of Cuban cigars, few brands are as visually distinctive or technically demanding as Cuaba. While most marcas rely on classic parejo formats, Cuaba dedicates itself almost entirely to figurados—cigars shaped with tapers, bulges, and curves that challenge both the torcedor...
Read MoreThe Cuaba Salomon is an impressive figurado measuring 184 mm by a 57 ring gauge, wrapped in a smooth, bright golden Colorado leaf that invites the touch with its supple texture. This vitola offers a balanced and generous experience tailored for aficionados seeking a bold, yet refined smoke.
The cold draw reveals enticing notes of wood, animalic suint, and subtle spices, supported by a good draw that sets the stage for a complex journey. The first third begins simply and generously, with wood and wet leaf notes emerging alongside a distant hint of red pepper, all framed by a well-measured strength.
In the second third, the profile rounds out with rich aromas of cocoa reminiscent of milk chocolate wood, spices, and delicate pastry notes. Fresh fern undertones and hints of tanned leather add layers of nuance. Combustion and draw remain excellent throughout.
The final third asserts a more pronounced strength, introducing a luxurious woody character. Though it displays some linearity and slight lethargy, the overall flavor remains expressive and satisfying.
A beautiful and robust figurado, the Cuaba Salomon commands respect. While it may at times feel a touch one-dimensional, its harmonious aromatic blend earns it an additional half-ring in rating.
