Ramon Allones Specially Selected MUR MAR 13 48 and Over Weekend Review

[Wailbait]

I’ll start this out by saying - I got super excited about using this weekend review to motivate me into trying one of the Bushidos or Eslavos.  Fancy sticks that I have wanted to check in on.  But.  When I opened the humidor, staring at me was this great box of RASS that I was just so curious about.  5 years has been a sweet spot.  And this box and code has been good to me.  So I figured I’d scrap the fancy stuff and see how a trusty old friend has fared since last visit.  

Prelight was awfully pretty.  Just an even colored wrapper with a wonderful weight.  Looking forward.  Paired with a Manhattan made with Cocchi.  

First third

softer than I recalled.  Admittedly it’s been a year since the last one but it was pretty mellow.  Slight fruit notes.  Burn was super.

Second third

This is the jam.  Literally and dad-joke-figuratively.  Lots of fruit coming through.  It’s exactly as I recall.  I believe I have about 10 more from this box but this one makes me feel like they are at a great point right now.

final third.

This is where the weight of the cigar factored in.  There was a lot of tobacco packed in.  Got stronger but always pleasant.  That said, I might give these another year or three and see how the last act resolves.  

Ill save the fancy stuff for another day.  Probably many other days.  Give me a RASS in the meantime.

I’ve had a few from the exact code/month I believe! I got straight strawberry jam and brown sugar from them...honestly one of the best cigars I’ve ever had!

If I have one regret, it’s that I don’t have a whole box.  I think these are just great!!

MUR was the best factory code in '12 &'13. The best box of BBF's I've ever had was MUR SEP 12, all the BBF boxes after that never tasted the same! Sick of chasing BBF's! Great review!
