Ramon Allones Small Club Corona:No box code: RA review comp. 2016

Picked this up with a bunch of sample cigars to try. It's only sat in the humi 7 days from delivery but hey, what the hell.

Aroma at cold was very barnyardy with a slighty sweet smell. Cold draw had a nice sweet flavor with hints of lightly toasted tobacco. Very deceiving as this little sucker has some Powah!!!

1st. 3rd: Perfect burn, perfect draw and great smoke volume!! A detect a slight dried fruit/raisin note but it fades quickly. Lots of toasted tobacco and cedar with a hint of cream in the background and a little cocoa on the finish. The finish is a bit short.

2nd 3rd: Body progresses from a solid medium into a medium full. Great hits of leather, toasted tobacco and cedar dominate. I kinda miss the dried fruit.

Last 3rd: Cigar continues to pick up strength and adds a little black pepper tovthe mix. Smoke, burn and draw are still fantastic. Almost makes it to full bodied. Powerful little sucker!

Overall, I can see the potential in this cigar. I think a little time down to mellow out the body a bit will help delineate the flavors a bit more. Definitely boxworthy.

Nice review!  I really like these.  Great smokes.  It seems to me the stone fruit comes out more with age.

I can totally see that. The strength of the cigar kind of obscured the subtler flavors a bit. I still enjoyed the hell out of it. Getting a good strong cigar without the huge pepper blast of NC's is really quite nice. I can say the same thing for the RYJ Cazadores.
