Ramon Allones (Cuba) Eminencia (regional)

Smoked my first today from the second issue. The draw was slightly firm but still afforded plenty of smoke. The cigar was earthy and mine didn't have some of the sweet fruit flavors that others have detected. Added a bit of spice as it progressed, but was still relatively one-dimensional at this point. The good construction, quality tobacco and smooth flavor gave me hope that these will age into excellent smokes, but I think they are a bit young to smoke at this point.

late 07 box. beautiful presentation. mahagony flavor dominates the first half. the second half brings on raisin/dried fruit flavors on top of the mahagony. great last 1/3.

I was lucky to score a box of these hard to find smokes. I was pleasantly awarded.
An abundance of peach and tangerine flavors swirled in, with light coffee aromas. The second half
was spicier with a peppercorn undercurrent, and an earthy and cedary mix.
Well rolled.
Nice chocolatey wrapper.
They smell delcious.
A true winner

Dark cafe-au-lait wrapper with a few bumps and small veins. slightly grassy bouquet. draw was modestly firm. lit easily and burned slow. first third showed cedary earth tones becoming tangy and citrusy toward the middle.one patch of uneven burn easily corrected by hand. flavor strength was medium. mild nick thrust and minty with about one inch to go. plenty of smoke and firm grey ash throughout. more similar to the scc than the rass. certain to grow with age.
