I plopped down $25 for an LFD Salamone. It was a well constructed cigar, taste was a little mild for my taste, but complex. Would I buy a box of these expensive cigars? No. This is the best time I’ve seen for cigars in the last 15 years. There are so many just as good cigars for about $15 less.

And I love Litto’s products.

We ended up splitting a box of these at Santa Barbara Cigars.

24 of us each bought a single stick and turned it into a party–everyone brought their favorite libation. I think nearly everyone there smoked their cigar from 8pm to 12am. It’s a bit pricey, but when you think about smoking a couple $10-12 sticks over the course of four hours, it suddenly seems more reasonable.

Nice review. Litto and LFD? You can’t go wrong in my opinion. Both are two very good at what they do. With a price tag and limited availability like that they will be very hard to find! Congrats to Jerry!!!

Great review Chris!

Floral and herbal – hrmmm – just doesnt peak my interest Well and the $30 a stick price tag!!!

How can manufacturers justify prices like this when there are awesome smokes for a LOT less? Oh well, they can charge what they want and if people buy them, why not keep charging it!

Sounds like a great stick but once again the price kills it.

My local LFD rep ran a special one night: by an El Museo, get 2 freebies. This brought the overall stick price down to about $16 for me, so I bought one. I love most LFD smokes, including the Ligero and Double Ligero series, the Limitado IV, and even the Premium Line Mambises, but El Museo was for me the most disappointing cigar of 2009. It is nuanced and complex, but the floral and herbal tones were not something I enjoyed at all.
