RASS ULA AUG 14 RRRRW

[Wailbait]

This particular cigar is from a 5er that I traded for a cpuple years back (he got 5 2014 EPI 2s).  It’s my last one so this review weekend was as good as any to see how it was doing.  

I have found that 2014 sticks were on the whole, quite good.  Now that they are all about 5-6 years old, they are also coming into their own.  Pack and weight on this cigar is fantastic.  Sadly, it’s packed so full that the draw is a little tighter than I would like.  
 

after a little massage when it warms up, the knot is cleared and it’s smoking great.  Classic Allones flavor profile.  Very very deep.  Barnyard funk and deep stone fruit.  It’s a great cigar.  
The second half gets even deeper.  Hits up very well with a little bit of bourbon.  It’s such a fun cigar and I am sad it is my last one.  I think these 14 ULA will continue to evolve.  
I have a half cab of some RASS from 2016.  I’m delighted to be proven wrong but I’m not sure they will ever come around like these 14 have.

Nice review!

Hope for the best on the 2016 but unlikely...

Agreed.  Sometimes you can’t age your way into magic.  Probably good life advice for me, actually.
