What reviewers say
- Aaron Loomis (developingpalates.com): 6.1 of 10, Petit Salomon, 4.5 x 44 (2023)In our words: Toasted cedar and spice led. Burn and draw were praised.
- Seth Geise (developingpalates.com): 5.75 of 10, Petit Salomon4.5 x44 (2023)In our words: Wood and soft spice stayed consistent. Construction was good, but the reviewer wanted more flavour.
- John McTavish (developingpalates.com): 5.8 of 10, Petit Salomon4.5 x44 (2023)In our words: Sweet wood gave way to vegetal notes. Burn stayed straight; early draw resistance eased.
- Jiunn Liu (developingpalates.com): 6.45 of 10, Petit Salomon4.5 x44 (2023)In our words: Bread and nuts balanced red pepper initially. Later leather weakened that balance.
