Possibly an LE worth getting?

Despite what some people say about the LEs being all hype and no substance for the price, i've always felt that each year at least one of the LEs becomes a keeper.

Too soon to know if this RA will be next year's gem.

Wow only the second non-gobal or non-niche brand to be an LE.

Is Cuaba going to get demonted?

Tantalizing news, Prez. Thanks.

Right now I'm eager to try the Allones Superiores.

Great potential there.

Wow, old square band. I love it when HSA goes retro.

Maybe so. Not sure what would make them different except a retro band. I think they all taste reminiscent of each other. And some of them taste exactly alike. It must be the cocoa dust they sprinkle on the wrappers. But I can't easily tell one from another, like I can with the regular production marcas and vitolas. To me, they all have the same EL earthy/chocolate-y thing going. It obscures whatever blend that was intended.

I agree. Most taste like Dominican maduros to my taste. I have enjoyed a few and I do believe that certain blend profiles mesh better than others with the darker, maduro-like wrappers. But yes. A lot of sameness.

Anything to promote Ramon Allones is good in my book. A regular-release RA 898 on the horizon? Can fools dream?

Do you really want to give me another opportunity to ruin your LE business? -LOL

I would have to agree with Kommy, simply bringing back the 898 would do me fine. Old band, new band, no band would be better! -P
