ive found 18 and 19 ..particularly 18s from the MSU code to be spectacular.............from my experience the RAS is 10x more complex tasting cigar than RASS and i will take it all day over the later

I've heard good things about 18/19 production but haven't bought any for whatever reason. Almost all 17-19 production seems to be Partagas (MSU).

My guess is that since Rob uses that term regularly to describe boxes of RASS that are thrown up and members read that description, it’s what people tend to go to in order to describe a RASS. I’ve never stewed fruit in a stew. I don’t know how it smells or tastes, but I can kind of see the link. 

There's definitely a fruitiness to RA. Call it stewed fruit if you will. I just don't find it in the RASS. Not much if any in the RASCC to be honest. RAS, definitely.

Stewed fruit is pretty common as a topping everywhere. You can find it at breakfast diners in oatmeal or cottage cheese, pancakes, granola, etc. If you've ever had a yogurt parfait they usually are served with berry compote, aka stewed berries. Not sure where in Norcal you're from, but as a lifelong bay area resident, if you're around the east bay, I'd recommend checking out the berry compote pancakes at Sunrise Bistro in Walnut Creek. Considering the state's massive produce exports, if you want some other fresh stewed fruit, spend some time more inland California, there's a ton of fruit stands around manteca/oakdale that would be happy to provide you with some. 

Sunrise is my favorite. Gotta go on Monday's for the Matzo Ball Soup. Word was it would shut down pre-corona, which I can't imagine helped things. Ok, back to the regularly-scheduled RA programming...
