Young RASCC

[jwr0201]

Just finished enjoying a young RASCC that is probably a year old. Construction was very good with few veins, a nearly invisible cap and nice seams. This stick was a light caramel brown in color with a toothy finish and little to no oils seen. There were quite a few bumps and two places where the seam was slightly lifted, but no real flaws to be seen. In comparison to the Super Partys, this stick was much more refined in it's construction. Draw and burn were absolutely perfect! Burn line was razor sharp. I have never had any other cigar in over 10 years perform this well.

As for flavors, this cigar began very softly and was extremely mild for most of the smoke. This stick had to be smoked very slowly and softly to bring out the delicate flavors. Initially, it was slightly rough, with a bit of irritation in the back of the throat. That subsided at the half way point and flavors ramped up a bit. Mostly floral and fresh, subtle grassiness. Became more creamy as it progressed. Last third was best- never had a cigar do this. All the while, floral, grass, very light wood and a soft, rather short finish. Took it to the nub and had to go ever so slow to keep from getting too hot. No off taste at all left on the palate. Overall, a feel-good cigar that was enjoyable. I'm pleased with the performance and look for these to improve over time. Oh yes, the 'tang' showed up in a very soft way. Good cigar!

Yes a very nice small cigar indeed - my experience was very much the same. Amazing how quickly you smoke through a box if you have some time in the day for a quick smoke. Very moorish.

I've had a couple this week from a AUB MAR 13 box and both were great but the first one I had out of the humidor for four days before I smoked it and it was noticeably better. They are consistently a great go to cigar for me when I want something small.

Smoked one this week as well. Seemed to be rather plugged so I will certainly be dry boxing my next one for a few days! I did notice how good the final third was though; just as you said! I love the size on these for winter smokes. Thanks for the review.
