Salomon
Salomon · 100–135 min smoke · A grand, large-format perfecto — a tapered nipple foot and pigtail head on a big ring. A showpiece marathon that rewards patience and long rest.
At the counter · Toast the pointed gently until it opens true; snip the pigtail or a shallow cut on the head, then settle in — the size and double taper demand an unhurried pace.
Tasting
A large 7 x 58 salomon marking Foundation's first decade, layering a Connecticut Broadleaf/Havana Seed hybrid wrapper over Brazilian mata fina and Nicaraguan long-fillers for a rich medium-full profile of cedar, sweet cocoa, coffee and baking spice. · Released 2025
Pairs with
Caramel and honey echo the port's nutty raisin sweetness for a dessert-like close.
Corn-sweet vanilla underlines the confectionary notes already in the smoke.

“If you are already a fan of the darker and fuller parts of Foundation's portfolio, such as The Tabernacle and The Wise Man blends, then the Foundation 10 Year Aniversario is going to be right up your alley.”Read on halfwheel
“First Inch: dense white smoke, Almond, cherry, and a hint of citrus. Not much pepper but a mild spice. Lots of flavor. It's smooth and balanced.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
“It started with notes of pepper and earth followed by sweet notes of dark red fruit. As it continued to burn, the pepper almost entirely went away and was replaced by an increasing sweetness. About 2/3 of the way in, I also got notes of espresso.”Read on Reddit r/cigars
