littlepea Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Anyone smoked any of these recently? Have they improved with some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Had my last the other night from a box I bought a year back. Five of ten had problems with draw - but flavour is great - so when smoking right its a perfect smoke The last from the box was so plugged that I Ended up with robusto size cigar before I had a managable draw - but great beside that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Had one in December. Pretty unique and nothing what I've come to expect from RA. The fruit notes towards the end were interesting - almost a strawberry/raspberry combo. Still MUCH prefer a Gigantes to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Had one a month or so ago wonderful profile. Kinda wish I'd grabbed more than one box strength kicked up a bit in the final third but still kept it's smooth profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Amazing. Fantastic. Weak which is weird for an RA. Milk chocolate on the nose. Milk chocolate on the palate. Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry Q10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LegLance Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I assume you mean the Ramon Allones Gigantes...I just did a split on 2 boxes and it was VERY HARD to ship those sticks out. They are great I already ordered another box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavLew79 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Had one last weekend. Pretty mild, no real flavour apart from the RA grassiness and tobacco. As an aside, it made me puke. Could have been a bad stick or it's deceptively strong (NB: I've never puked before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actzz541 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Working my way through a box right now, must have gotten a gem as this has moved into the 1 spot as my fav RA... just some unreal flavors coming out of this stick, great construction, great draw. I have a second box in reserve, hoping for good things there as wel, we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2021 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Very good cigar! Wish I had gotten a box when the opportunity presented itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Love it.... strawberry, raspberry, no fruit, milk chocolate, grassiness, tobacco, strong, mild, tight...anything else you wanted to know? lol For what it's worth, last one I had was last summer and I liked it. I tend to like a bit more ooomph in my big cigars and these seemed to have reached a plateau. A delicious balance, but I am not sure another couple of years will mark any dramatic changes.
