jacktarnold Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The RACF is a beautiful cigar from 10 singles that I picked up. I did not do a cold draw because I wanted to see if it affected the flavors if I lit the cigar and then cut the head. After lighting the cigar it was right off, with a smoothness and no harshness at all. No ammonia or harsh flavors. Nowhere near the horror Rob and Smithy experienced. I love the perfecto. Looks fantastic and is a pleasure to hold. 1st Third Slight spice at the beginning but I'm getting more of a sweet fruitiness that I'm having a hard time nailing down specifically. Little bit of a burn issue that was easily corrected. It was probably my fault more than the cigars. Hint of leather and woodyness but mainly a sweetness that is coming through and a nice medium body. 92pts 2nd Third This cigar transferred from the sweetness of the first third to more a black pepper spice, earth, wood, and leather. Building on strength now I would say closer to medium-full. Still a very smooth cigar with no harshness. 92pts Final Third The last third continued from the second. This RACF was full of earth and spice. The final third stayed at medium-full. It had some burn issues but it was caused by the RE band not wanting to come off of the cigar and I damaged the wrapper slightly. Overall This was a wonderful cigar. I was hoping for the return of the amazing sweetness from the first third; however, I was not disappointed at all with this cigar. I'm glad I have two more boxes coming. I would love to tell everyone that this is a $h!? cigar and to stay away from it so I can keep them all for myself; however, I can't. This cigar is only going to get better with time. Overall I would rate this a 92-93. If you have not tried this great cigar I would recommend picking up at least a few singles while they are still available.

gersonmorelli Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Had one yesterday, this cigar keeps getting better. Still a full bodied smoke, flavours keep improving. I can see some stewed fruits RA showing along with white peppers. One of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
