12stones Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 This is a fav of mine. These are definitely great cigars and help to make those nights where an hour and a half cigar isn't possible so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami101 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Prez... I pick up about six of these smokes. I have not had a chance to test drive them yet.

Tampa1257 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I would be intersted to hear of any members who have tried a 6+ year old RASCC and how they believe the cigar develops over time? Bawahahahahahahaha Right, if you find any with 6 years of age on them, send me a couple! I do so love this cigar, almost better than the Partagas Short, and in some ways even better! The best I can do is 2 years age, but those are down for a few more years to smaple with some age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.harten Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I just recently got ahold of a box of these and was so impressed I have already gotten another box. The 06s are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Great review Rob. The RASCC is definitely one of my favorite cigars. I had some great '05s, but it sounds like these '06s are a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've never seen these available with any age, so a couple years ago I put away a box from 03, not to be touched until 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Fantastic review, Rob. This is one of my favorites and I agree that it is one of the better value sticks. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Is there a better half corona? Sure...the Cohiba Siglo 1 and the Trinidad Reyes are a class above the rest of the field followed by the San Cristobal Principe....but the the Small Club Corona pound for pound the stand out winner when you take into account price point. I mean, hear we have a cigar with the fullness of body to rival the Cohiba Siglo 1, the flavour complexity to outshine all but the most exemplary examples of the siglo 1 and Reyes....the sweet spice to throw in the face of the Principe.....whose coffee sweetness is legendary. So why are they produced in such small numbers when in comparison to its main competitors? I have no real idea but I do know that if they ever truly discontinue this cigar I will be on the first plane to Havana to protest. Ramon Allones Small Club Corona POS SEP 06 Box to box......perfect construction. Barnyard smell mixed with sweet spices at cold. Gorgeous. What I love about this cigar is that it is a 30 minute trip to paradise. You may wonder...Hey Rob? You haven't even reviewed this thing yet! I know.....however...the construction, the horse rolled in honey aroma, the sensual tactile response to a slight squeeze along the cigar, the perfect wrapper.....Gentlemen....YOU JUST KNOW :-P Cuban clipped the end and took a long draw. Just right. Just the correct amount of resistance. Toasted tobacco on the buds, sweet spice on the lips. Upon lighting there was a cavalcade of blue smoke, dark roasted fresh espresso, sweet paprika and cinnamon stick reminiscent of the great Arroz con Leche (rice pudding) that my mum use to make. I love this cigar. I wanted to recant to it how much I loved it...how many great times I had shared with it...how I never wanted it to go away The cigar went from medium full in body to full by the half way mark. The only negative I could find was the crooked burn but at 4 months of age this was a stellar performance and the burn to me countsfor squat with anything under 2 years. Flavourwise...the cinnamon had gone and left behind was the deepest flavour of espresso coffee and sweet paprika I had experienced in a while. These flavours stayed until the end. There was never any bitterness. The Ramon Allones Small Club Corona performed just the way I had expected it to. It has always been the case. Low production has its rewards...consistency of blend and normally consistency of construction. I would be intersted to hear of any members who have tried a 6+ year old RASCC and how they believe the cigar develops over time? 90/100 5/6 Smoke rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
