Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas

[bolivr]

Quick review. TEB Jul07 bought in Feb 2010 from Czar. Nice looking cigar, well packed with a solid feel in the hand, smooth wrapper, slightly box pressed. These have had time now to have really settled into the 65% RH humi. Cold aroma is barnyard and something even funkier at the foot, hmm... Test draw was quite firm despite a wide clip and showed light tobacco flavour, a touch sweet and so tending towards a faint Christmas pudding flavour.

Once lit, the first draws were smooth light tobacco flavour which hit its stride with medium body within the first five minutes. Added cream, leather, and very smooth through the nose retrohaling. The burn was excellent but at about the time the photo was taken it took a harsh turn and would not improve. This is surprising as I have had much better examples from this box. Generally these cigars deliver the leather and cream RA profile like their bigger brother RASS and keep my interest with varying levels of each as the smoke burns down. Will have to try another
