About the Partagas Salomones “La Casa del Habano”
The Partagas Salomones “La Casa del Habano” is one of the most ambitious shapes ever offered by this storied marca, produced solely for the La Casa del Habano specialist network. Launched as an LCDH exclusivo in 2008, the Salomon vitola revives a 19th century fashion for cigars tapered at both ends, a double figurado that sits at the very summit of the torcedor’s craft. Measuring 7.3 inches (184 mm) by a 57 ring gauge, it is a commanding cigar built around Vuelta Abajo tobaccos, and Cigar Aficionado awarded the Partagas Salomon a rating of 93 points. Few Habanos demand more skill to roll, and few reward patience so generously.

Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third lights with a robust, savory core of earth and the signature Partagas pepper, threaded with supple leather and a touch of dark cocoa. As the burn reaches the middle third, the figurado shape opens up and richer wood notes emerge, with cedar and oak giving way to a quiet sweetness reminiscent of dried fruit, while espresso deepens on the palate. By the final third the strength climbs to full, the earthy spine intensifying alongside dark chocolate, a heavier black pepper, and a nutty, woody finish that lingers long after the last draw.
Pairings
- A well aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak echo the cigar’s sweeter midsection.
- A peaty single malt or Highland whisky to meet the full body and smoky depth head on.
- A strong espresso or dark roast coffee that mirrors the bean and cocoa notes throughout the smoke.
Aging and storage
Keep your Salomones boxed and resting at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, in a well seasoned humidor. These cigars already show beautifully on release, yet the thick 57 ring and the rich Partagas blend take comfortably to time in the cabinet. A year or more of rest tends to round the pepper, marry the earth and cocoa, and add a smoother, more honeyed depth to the smoke.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the seasoned aficionado who values both a long, contemplative session and the artistry of a perfectly executed double figurado. The format alone calls for an hour or more, so it suits unhurried evenings, special celebrations, and collectors drawn to limited LCDH releases. Newer smokers may find the full body and tapered foot challenging, while experienced palates will relish every evolving stage.
