ChanceSchmerr Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 To continue my earlier posted question regarding which 2 to buy, the ERDM Tainos, RA 898s or RA Phoenicios.....My army friend's package arrived today following his return from Afghanistan through Dubai....... Gentlemen, I give you - the ERDM Tainos and Ramon Allones 898s! These cigars have the finest aroma I've ever smelled for aged cigars. It's kind of like a hay/earth sort of smell - is this the barnyard aroma that everyone talks about? The RA 898s especially - their aroma is more intense than the Tainos, and with a sweet stewed fruit note to it too - the Tainos are a more refined scent. Either way, both are mouthwatering! The construction feels great for both, and there is no sap marks to be seen - these could be the winners I've hoped for! I'll let them rest in the humidor for as long as I can resist them, before I try one - a review coming for each for sure!!! Enough chit chat - the pictures! Sorry for the quality issues - taken with my Camcorder as the camera remains on the fritz! Check out the Greening of the Bands - I wish I had a box date for the 898s......but the cardboard box was lost to the ages... I can't WAIT to try these bad boys!!!!
mkz Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Nice catch! Be shure to post a review when the time comes...
Chaki Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Congratulations! You are going to enjoy these cigars BTW, the 2 codes for the RA 898 I have ever seen in Dubai are TDV 04 and OSU 02. Both are excellent
lemmycaution Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Congrats! They look great and I'm sure they will be wonderful. I don't have any experience with either, let us know how they are. Enjoy! -Jim
