Midweek Shootout Poll - Over the past few months, we've sorted through our first Round of 32 cigars in this series and now have our Winners & Losers bracket matchups. :spotlight:

There will be some brutally lopsided match-ups at the outset (last week's Cohiba Siglo V trouncing of the poor E2 for instance), and then we should see some titanic battles as we progress through the bracket (see below). 

This week's match-up:  Ramon Allones Gigantes vs Trinidad Vigia
 
If you've had both - great - if you've had one and not the other, or have had neither, give us your answer and discussion based on your experience there and/or the perceived allure/desire/interest in these combatants. :cigar:

Read the scenario, vote in the poll, discuss below if you wish :thumbsup:

I have had great Vigias. RA for a Double Corona is my least favorite of the bunch.

Really enjoy the Vigias - down to last box. Hated to see that price increase, oh well. I like the RA Gigantes but there are better DCs.

The poor RAG. Has anyone told you you're beautiful today?

Well there's always tomorrow. Won't hear it from me either. :)

Out of my wide range of sampling RAGs ( ONE CIGAR ) I immediately put it in the hell no category. I would graciously accept one as a gift ( I'm not THAT crude ) and then promptly gift it to the first sucker...I mean friend that needed a cigar.

Love the RAGs. They are very comfortable like my UGG slippers. Not fancy, just smooth. Vigia is a nice cigar but RAG edges it out for me mostly because of a significant size preference.

If I could offer a contrary opinion, I have a box of Ramon Allones Gigantes from 2015 and at this stage of their development, it's not even a question. RAG all the way!

Gigantes - my favourite DC young. Every Vigia I've had made me wonder how it could ever share a brand and band with the esteemed Fundadores, the little bastard.
