The Salamon in this line is an aesthetically pleasing balanced and symetrical vitola. I thought it was a medium bodied and tasty cigar. I note another review states: "the flavor, while good, is shallow and one-dimensional. Notes of cafe au lait, some woodiness, a bit of pepper and faint wisps of cocoa and perhaps cinnamon come and go" there's also good earthy flavors too. I don't know how flavor with 5 distinct components that "come and go" could be considered "one-dimensional", but maybe he means something else by "one". I recommend.

I've been a Borhani fan for awhile, but have been consistently disappointed over the past year or so with his offerings. I looked forward to the Icon, hoping that a new cigar would be all it took to re-ignite my pleasure with Borhani smokes. This is a decent cigar, but another disappointment, not up to all the hype. Medium bodied with excellent construction and draw, the flavor, while good, is shallow and one-dimensional. Notes of cafe au lait, some woodiness, a bit of pepper and faint wisps of cocoa and perhaps cinnamon come and go. The finish is short. All in all, an entirely underwhelming experience. For the money, there are much better smokes and half the cost.
