Hash Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello all, I would like to hear your opinion on which is a better cigar and why , the CORO or the RASS.I am thinking of buying one box either or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Very different cigars each with their own distinct differences. If you're after smooth, rich honey and slightly more finesse then go for CORO. If you're after good value full bodied tobacco with 'oomff' the RASS. Personally I smoke both regularly...however choose RASS over CORO about 10 to 1 times. Great cigars either way you go....both getting better with some age. The difference, I think, is a higher seco to ligero ratio in CORO... and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophidion Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Have yet to have a bad rass either aged or off the truck. I've had plenty of mediocre Cohiba for twice the price. I go rass all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharks Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Given a choice I would go CORO everyday. As rob suggested smooth, honey taste, I also get abit of a grassy hit. The RASS is less finess and more of a basher all in sort of hit, I find it a more aggressive cigar.(my opinion) Dollar wise you cant go past RASS put some years on the CORO though and you will not be disappointed.

SCgarman Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Some vendors offer 2 box deals where you will get 2 boxes of RASS for a cheaper price than one box of COROs. It is a no brainer for me as RASS is my favorite cigar in terms of flavor and value. All Cohiba are seriously overpriced and simply not worth spending my coin on. RASS all the way, one of the finest Cubans in the whole portfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The difference, I think, is a higher seco to ligero ratio in CORO... and vice versa. More probably, different ligero and VERY different seco… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 both are very good, but RASS smokes well after a short rest, CoRo needs age. My plan, since I have both, is to age the CoRos while I smoke the RASS. RASS is also a better value, but an aged CoRo beats an equally aged RASS, IMHO.

Louich Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I smoked thw two of them last week end and I have tonsay both are great but the lead goes to the CoRo IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikesupremedunk Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I love the coro but they are more expensive. If price weren't a factor id choose coro all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm a rass man and love coros but I'd have to say based on pure quality alone and taste aside coros are far more variable and combined with the price if I were to buy one it would be rass all day long.

Larsy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Like said, RASS smoke well young, CoRo age better. So buy both, smoke the RASS while the CoRo age When the CoRo's are on theyre almost unbeatable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 coro age better than rass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb5783 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 RASS you can't get a 50 cab of RASS for not that much more than a 25 box of CORO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 More probably, different ligero and VERY different seco… Very good point. The raw product for the CORO is Vuelta Abajo sourced....though the RASS is likely raw product from anywhere but there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar300 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Rass for me, but then I have a box of both ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmancbr Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 RASS all day everyday even if the prices were identical. Since the CoRo runs quite a bit more, its a no brainer. That said there is a place in my humi for both. But I smoke way more RASS than CoRos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galtline Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Robusto T Trinidad, Rass, Series D , Hupman Royal Robusto. Hupman Royal Robusto wins hands down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 ok lol how many of the above mentioned cigars have you smoked and what vintages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am 'in love' with the Cohiba Robusto. However, I would suggest you pick up two singles of each, and sample for yourself, and then let us all know which way you decide to go! While you are picking up two singles of each, maybe grab a couple JL2 and PSD4 to act as your control groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have re-fallen in love with RASS... maybe I had to wait for mine to grow up a bit. If I smoke a Cohiba, it probably will not be a CoRo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsy Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 coro age better than rass? I think so! But then again, who the hell am I lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Almost at polar opposites for me :s imo it's easier to say something like: CoRo vs Upmann Connie #1/JL #2 Or RASS vs Bolivar royal corona/Partagas D4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartolomeo Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 2012 POU CoRo are excellent....RASS....meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Buy a box. I personally don't care which. Then buy the other...Then a box of something the other guy said, and another, and another. You get the idea. Welcome to your support group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
