Rushman Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Heard some rumors these might be on the endangered list...go figure! Had to stock up before I head back to Texas and picked up two nice boxes today. Wanted 3 or 4 but only 2 came in. Man I love these sticks. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631725,-87.070654
nikesupremedunk Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I ordered one and last second was told it wasn't available. Still pretty salty about that...
Rushman Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Haven't been able to find online at any of my trusted sources. Had to get these brought from Cuba for me. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631706,-87.070601
ritan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I agree...these are delicious...and so hard to find anywhere this year. I too am having some hand-carried back. The wait is so hard.
winelover Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 It doesn't make any sense to under produce/discontinue a cigar that is popular and clearly in demand. HSA logic
Blakes Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 All you ever hear about is how hard people try to track this cigar down and if they are lucky enough to find a few boxes they buy them all up! Why on earth would a company discontinue a product like that!! Yet they realse a supposed "limited edition" that 3 years after its release is still everywhere, The amount of times im left scratching my head after some of the decisions HSA make is insane!
Blakes Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 It also makes you think what there intentions are for Ramone Allones? This would leave them with only the RASS and Grandes left.. Its a shame.
almudawi Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I always wanted to add these to my collection but never got to the point to do so. Thanks to this rumor I have managed to get my hands (more like forced my hand) on a box with another coming my way and another 2 whenever I come across them
Smallclub Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 RASCCs from '07 were not good; 2010's were even worse, and more recent can't be found… … wave Adios to what used to be the best minuto… …I guess we can thank all these mini robustos, micro pyramids from the RE program…
CanuckSARTech Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Don't say this!!!! Art will be even MORE on the hunt to buy them all up!!!!

maverickdrinker Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Don't say this!!!! Art will be even MORE on the hunt to buy them all up!!!! Stocking up as we speak......
ChanceSchmerr Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 RASCCs from '07 were not good; 2010's were even worse, and more recent can't be found… … wave Adios to what used to be the best minuto… …I guess we can thank all these mini robustos, micro pyramids from the RE program… Where did 2010's get their bad name? My box of POL JUN 10 that I purchased in Palma last year has been smoking beautifully! I agree about the 07s- and 08s, but if you can find the 2012s, they are the best made in ages. This makes me happy that I've snagged some 2012's!
backslide Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I've smoked 3 boxes of 08's that were beautiful. I currently have 2 boxes of 08's left that are amazing. I have also smoked 3-4 boxes from 2010 that were GREAT. I'm not biting on the "bad years" bait/ propaganda.
Cohiba Stevie Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Still have a full box i bought in cuba... Unbelievable smokes.
Smallclub Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I'm not biting on the "bad years" bait/ propaganda. No one is talking about "bad years"… Have you ever had a RASCC from 2002 or 2004 or older? Why do you think I've chose "Smallclub" as a nickname on forums? I don't know when exactly it started but most of the boxes coming out from the Partagas factory in 2007, 2008, 2010 got a mediocre, agressive blend that don't even benefit from age… When you think Min Ron Nee described it as a "mini Gigantes"… Who would dare to say that nowadays?

This makes me happy that I've snagged some 2012's! And I'd like to take the opportunity on this thread and express my gratitude for my buddy Chris for getting me on RASCC's bandwagon
ChanceSchmerr Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 And I'd like to take the opportunity on this thread and express my gratitude for my buddy Chris for getting me on RASCC's bandwagon Glad to do it, buddy - Just make sure all those boxes in the BAH DF store don't get ignored......I'm still kicking myself for only picking up one of them!!!
ramon_cojones Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was only able to secure two boxes a couple of months ago unfortunately. Always loved these with a bit of age and have been smoking for the past few years.
dB69 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 ...I don't know when exactly it started but most of the boxes coming out from the Partagas factory in 2007, 2008, 2010 got a mediocre, agressive blend that don't even benefit from age… WOW! Where did you buy the return ticket to somewhere around 2017-2020? I'm having two boxes from 2008 and they've been excellent. The box from 2011 will stay untouched for a while, so it's impossible to say anything about them..
Marker Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was able to get a few 05 RASCC and they smell wonderful. I have not had one yet. Not a fan of the RASS but the RACF is a wonderful cigar to me. If the RASCC isn't as peppery as the RASS I would be happy to get a box.
CaptainQuintero Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 You didn't say anything about price lol! It doesn't seem that new stock is filtering through for whatever reason. I'd bet that the UK stock is mostly 2005-2010
Duxnutz Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Finally got my hands on a box. MUR JUL12 box code so nice and fresh. Nice dark wrappers and super pungent aroma. Should have bought a couple more boxes....
UpInSmoak Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Very nice, drooling! Haven't seen those around for quite some time. Nice pick up!
