olotti Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I see there may be a robusto sale. Im interested in thoughts on the RASS, its been awhile since I've smoked any.
mk05 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 They open up with some shelf time, ~5yrs, but fresh 50 cabs tend to smoke better than dress boxes.
Jah Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I have a box from DIC '11 that I wish I rested, might have ended up being better. The fresh D4's I've had as of late have been spectacular.
ZinZan Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Agree MK05, RASS wasnt bad young but after 2 years amazing for me, im down to my last 3 sticks out of the box from 2011 should've let it rest.
olotti Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 I actually kind of like young RASS when they have a bit of oomph behind them, some of the boxes I had from years back where fire crackers when young and really developed as they agead as they typically due. If I could get a box like that I'd b in otherwise I can always use more D4's.

CCs aren't rolled like they were previously. The RASS are already approachable young, but they will change completely in time, per examples of '04, '05, '06, and '08s being smoked now. Recent 50 cabs are worth picking up to put aside.
maverickdrinker Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 The current 50 cabs are incredible. Take 5 out and let the rest sleep for a few years.... Haven't had a current production dress box though. i am guessing the same level of quality.

Haven't had a current production dress box though. i am guessing the same level of quality. Bought 3 dresses of OGA late 11's. They were terrible. the MUR JUN12s and OGA 11 50cabs I sampled from before locking away are - as you said - incredible.
Bartolomeo Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 The dress boxes were meh as of recent. This
bigharpoon Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 That's disappointing, RASS was going to be my next purchase. I guess I'll wait until reports come back that the current stock is better.
CanuckSARTech Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I've got a May 2010 "POL" dress box of RASS, HQ from Czar's, that I'm going through right now and they've been really good. But I've been holding off on more RASS pending a cab. I had put in a request with Rob and Diana a while back for a stellar PSP cab of RASS when one comes along, but I'm still waiting. Fingers crossed for better luck in 2013!
Ophidion Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I've been saying "I need to get a cab of RASS" since 2010. Thankfully I had a vendor hand pick a cab of recent production for me so hopefully ill be able to enjoy my own soon.
Blakes Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I had a recent dress box that was awful.. Still probably my fault for cracking them open straight away.
