[laficion]

I just got these in and I thought you would like to see how they look.

They are beautiful to look at and to smell . I'll be puting them away

for a while before smoking one but I don't know If I have the will power to

do It

PS: Look at the last pic. and tell me If I'm missing out on something

or It's Quality Control at HSA ??????

Great pics Guy, and it seems that there are plenty of Kinder surprises in CCs nowadays. Hmmm, lemme think of a response; same factory? A love letter will probably be next, or an SOS stuffed inside a robusto...

LOL. A Bolivar Petite Libertador sheet inside a RA RE. Only in Cuba.

[Colt45]

They look great Guy. I wonder if the people packing these were given the incorrect sheets, or if they were packing both at the same time

and simply put the wrong sheet in the box.

Or.......

[anacostiakat]

Beautiful! Don't you just love the RA's.

[jquest63]

Great Pics! They looks lovely...very smoke-worthy...good luck holding out!

Enjoy

Wrong sheet LOL ..Guy those look great !!!!

Part of me wants you to hold out and not smoke one of those beauties now.

Another part wants you to smoke one immediately.

Hoping that if you do, you could compare it to the '05 and/or '07 UK version.

In Jimmy's thread RA Belicoso Fino, Rob says that Habanos S.A. insisted on the blends in the UK and the French version being the same. However, some of my friends here at the Cubana Cafe say that they are almost but not quite the same blend. Of course (as Rob points out) the difference could well be the natural difference in tobacco crops. And, of course, age -- the '05s are several years older that the Especial de Allones.

Anyway, just thinking out loud.

Smoke one now it's ment to be smoked now as thats how the blender blended it i am also sure it will have a great aged flavor profile down the road.

But the RA Beli have a great young flavor profile to !!

Some of you gents have strong will power as i would have to smoke at least one just to see what i am missing.

Hi Guy! I have bought both boxes in Paris in Boutique #22 winter time. It seems that they are made at one factory (see attach picks). Cigars are very good. All banderols which represented inside the facts. Am I lucky? Don't know.. But Quality Control at HSA really fantastic!

[Tampa1257]

Beautiful cigars! Wish the RA's were a world wide release! Trust me on this, Guy, you will want to get a 25 box soon, the 10 pack will go quickly once you break it open, and they will taste great! That is if what Rob stated that they kept the blend the same with the UK release.

[laficion]

FANTASTIC pics. Tampa, thank you for sharing. I'm sure that I will start smoking one soon.

I did buy 5 singles when I got the two 10ct boxes and this afternoon I ordered a box of 25.

Tampa, I hope that you did not find my sheet paper of RA inside your box of Bolivar Petit Libertador.

If you did, would you be interested in a trade ?

And above all, next time you're in France , TELL ME

[laficion]

OMG Sorry guys, I took Cigarros for Tampa and vias versa. What a mistake

I better put some ice cubes in the glass next time.

Please don't hold this against me my friends .

[BonVivant]

Nice share. LOL at the "wrong" sleeve... Thanks.

They look great Guy. I wonder if the people packing these were given the incorrect sheets, or if they were packing both at the same time

and simply put the wrong sheet in the box.

Or.......

maybe they were in the bathroom, brushing their teeth, looking over the toothpaste box, wondering, "what if.."

Seriously, beautiful cigars.

Dave

[sounddust]

Sure... Brett Favre

I only half-get this how do you say... "football" reference.

[cigarros]
