The Andalusian Bull, La Flor Dominicana’s 2016 release that earned the #1 spot on Cigar Aficionado this week, is what is known as a Salomon vitola or cigar shape. The Salomon is a large cigar tapered at both ends and often finished with a nipple foot. Larger than a perfecto and smaller than a diadema, it is a difficult size to produce, requiring an uncommon skill level and about twice the rolling time of a normal parejo-style cigar. Usually, only a handful of factory rollers are qualified to make them, and in Cuba, most are made without molds.
