La Liga Exclusiva de Familia is a line by Blanco Cigars, created starting from the personal preferences of Cesar and David Blanco. They found a common ground between their tastes in tobacco and have produced this line which is made up of six total sizes, including this Salomon.
All Liga Exclusiva de Familia cigars come partially wrapped in cedar foil and a green satin around the cigar foot. The cigars of this line are sold in 20-ct boxes.
The cigar, stripped of the cedar strip, has an opaque and dark wrapper. To the touch, it is silky, with barely present veins. Construction and filling are good.

Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Salomon: unlit, you can perceive aromas of pepper (very evident), followed by less vibrant tones of ripe fruit and cocoa.
Although the Double Figurado vitola implies a slow start, this product is perfectly outlined in the first puffs. The opening brings a savory smoke with a bitter underline to the palate. There is also a well-marked spicy sensation present. Aromas of earth and leather, enriched with mineral nuances, follow. Strength is medium-full (4/5).
In the central section, the sapidity with a hinted bitterness is still present. The spice disappears. Earthy notes are followed by less intense leather, balsamic and woody nuances. Strength remains medium-full (4/5).
In the last third, the bitterness becomes equal to the sapidity, and the profile corresponds to the second third, strength included (4/5).
In conclusion, the Blanco Linea Exclusive de Familia Maduro Salomon is an interesting product for its well-defined and intense flavor profile. It is also a cigar with a strong, albeit not exaggerated, strength, a characteristic appreciated by the smoker who seeks flavor intensity with sustained strength. It lacks refinement and evolution, especially from the second third on.
