Ramón Allones - Allones No. 3, any thoughts?

[Hypnos]

Just wondering if any of you have had any experience, good or bad, with Ramón Allones No. 3. I’ve got the chance to pick up a box at a decent price and wondered what you reckon. Not much info out there yet on how it stacks up against RASS and RASCC.

It's a great smoke and I literally just added another box from today's 24:24 as I think it's a great value (comparatively to other things of that size) for $25 a stick. It's not exactly the same as a RASS or RASCC though, so kind of hard to do a direct comparison to say which one is better or how it stacks, not that simple imo. RASS is that 'stewed fruit' as a lot like to call it, whereas the No.3 comes across more leather/cedar to me. All work together in a collection.

RASCC ranks first for me. Its a mainstay in my rotation. RASS is an acquired taste, a great cigar for the enthusiast. The No.3 however, for me I prefer a Monty Double Edmundo. Similar size, similar price but perhaps just a matter of taste. RA is such a great marca with loyal following but if availability wouldn't be a factor, the best regular production for me is the RA Superiores.

Been eyeing those as well. Haven't had an opportunity to pick a box yet.
