Ginseng Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 When you are discussing patina of the band are you referring to the slightly dull look? No. We're referring to the splotchy patches of oxidation on the label of the top cigar in the first picture. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottdurand Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have some 08's that came from the best 08 batch available and they have identical bands to your suspect band. I understand the concern because side by side with newer bands they look funky. They smoke GREAT! Sent from Tapatalk on my Samsung S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyBoulevard Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Just to follow up... I smoked a confirmed 2013 RASS on Father's Day with coffee. Smoked the 'odd/suspicious' RASS later that day during the kids nap (wife was out cold too). The 2013 RASS was fantastic as usual. Love those little buggers'. The RASS which we have been discussing here was absolutely GREAT. Great construction, great burn, great flavors. If it was a fake, I'd love a box. Verdict...aged RASS from 2008 or earlier due to the band. Thanked my trading partner with a bomb yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clynch Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't see Ramon Allones being a marca worth faking. I think it's just older Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Def. an older label. I had some 07s that looked similar. There's just not much QC for cuban labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
