just received a present today...really liking the replica bands

[Ghabanos]

will post a review shortly... just wanted to share my excitement with y'all

[CUBANO]

Looking good Ghabanos

[Lotusguy]

No confirmation and radio silence on my order

[Habanos2000]

Getting that in the mail would make my day as well!

Can't wait to hear how you like them.

[Fitz]

Got 3 of these to sample, cant wait. Wish it was a full box though!

I also agree that the bands look awesome, personally I think RA should re adopt them permanently, too many cuban bands look similar, nice to have some that really stand out.

I forgot to say... When I opened the box a breeze of chocolate hit my Olfactory glands like walking into a chocolate factory

Nice looking box of cigars! Congrats. These are a real treat of a cigar. The best of the 2011 LE's IMO. Hope you enjoy them!

Had a couple last week in Havana and then bought a box. Thought it was very good now and only going to get better. If I didn't have so many other things on my cigar shopping list I would have picked up two boxes. It probably won't be long before I break down and grab another box.

Did you happen to notice what the box price of these was in Havana?

If you scroll through Nino's post you will find the prices

My box just got sent out today from czars and it can't come soon enough

[CBL]

I wish I could find a couple of singles of these. I have no doubt I'll get a box in the near future, but I really want to try one soon! At this point, they're almost as hard to find (in B&M's) as the RASCC....

ChanceSchmerr and I smoked a few in Rome just before Christmas. He had picked up 3 singles from LCDH in Rome, so we decided to smoke them with dinner. They had nice dark oily wrappers. The band is a great touch too. Overall construction seemed great with the exception of the cap. The cap on all 3 were packed WAY to tightly, making them incredibly hard to draw. So much so that he had to give up on his after less than a third and he lit up the third. He noticed a huge difference immediately but draw was still tight. Draw on mine was tight due to the cap but still very smokeable. The flavours were nice and rich, and tasted like a true RA, more than making up for the tight draw. I liked mine so much so that I went back and picked up a box for myself. I noticed other boxes had tight caps, however mine had perfect construction.

I think this one is different from the RA that I had in the past( Rass, SMall club, and other ELs) but don't know exact how to describe it. It's very strong for me though.Construction is perfect as this why they charge for a premium hah!

[PartiDude]

Recently bought a 5er of these to try out. Smoked first one 3 nights ago and found it to be very strong and unsure of it's direction. Love the banding and this marca as a whole but probably won't try this particular stick for another year to see where it goes. I will say that I think its box worthy for putting down for a nap. Can't decide whether to buy a box now or after I've smoked another in 12 months. Think I'll go with now to ensure I have at least one box.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday, they look amazing with the exception of some of the caps which seem hurriedly applied.

[CBL]

I had my first one today and I'm pretty much sold! Could be a little more complex though, but the complexity might show itself with time.

[backslide]

I purchased a box just the other day, I can't wait for them to show up.
