El Presidente Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 How Have They Aged? : Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos PCC Regional 2009 48 x 137 (5.4#) From a tasting perspective,they were ruthless upon release. I called them at the time as a long term put away and many of you did. Can you remember what you paid for your box of Ramon Allones Celestiales Fino? What has been your experience in ageing Ramon Allones Celestiales Fino?
NSXCIGAR Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Had one about 5 years ago. 95-96 pointer. Phenomenal construction. I had bought a box on release and they didn't really impress me too much. 90 points maybe.
anacostiakat Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Magnificent cigar. Have smoked through a number of boxes and still am lucky enough to have a few. The Cuban OpusX. Paid $239.00 at one point. It has been awhile since I cracked a box but at last firing they had mellowed slightly. Love the style and size.
avaldes Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I think I went through 3 boxes. I don't remember how much they cost at the time. I wish I had saved some. To me they were good but a touch muted when young.
anacostiakat Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I just checked and I scored some boxes for $219.00. Yea. I remember I made a mistake and made a double order. Heh. Ooo Yea Baby!
sam Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I rate these as among the best cigars in my humidor. Just a couple left, and plan to smoke them only on special occasions. —-sam

Ooo Yea Baby! Yep, paid about that much in Oct 09. I also paid about $400 for Boli Especiales No. 2 around the same time. Most I had spent on a box in some time. Passed up a box of Edmundo Dantes 109 for $450 in 2008 as well. 1
KCCubano Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Totally different cigar with 5+. Rough upon release and I do recall Rob saying they were long termers.
JohnS Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I had one just under two years ago. In my view, they are close to their peak, yet still developing further still. I surprised myself with my summary of that particular RACF in mid-2021. It wasn't bad, I must say... 1

I remember this time as well, have a box of the Esp 2 but haven't touched them yet, as not with me in my current location.
Puros Y Vino Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Love these. If you smoked them fresh with under a year of age on them they were STRONG but flavorful. Since then that brain swimming feel has subsided but they are still very rich tasting.
cigaraholic Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 When I watched the bury these in your humidor video it was music to my ears, $238 a box. Stocked up, probably didn’t touch 1 for 5 years. Been enjoying them ever since, they just keep getting better and better. Haven’t touched my 2 favorite wrapper shade boxes yet. Can’t decide whether to smoke them or sell them and buy a Ferrari. 1
joeypots Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 I remember the original RACF video review and if memory serves the reviewers had trouble finishing the cigar and I thought they looked sea sick. I didn’t buy any. Big mistake. The original release RA Belicoso RE UK, single band 2005, were make u puke strong when young as well. Those were pretty stinking good a few years on as well. 1

I had a couple boxes of the 05 RA Beli-They were so rich and complex after several years down. Dont see them these days. They were technically the 1st RE but did not have the second RE band 1
