How are 2016 Ramon Allones Superiores smoking? Any experience with boxes with the ETP factory code? Thanks.

I picked up this box at Fincato in Rome on my Honeymoon. Little over a year, and I've heard such good things I figured why not try one for the Ramon Allones Review Weekend. I've been lucky that most of my boxes don't have giant stickers, but this one has a nice Italian one that, I believe, translates roughly to "if you need someone to smoke these with, call Francisco at 800xxxxxxx". Something like that anyway, I took French and Spanish, and may be a bit rusty. My cigar buddy was over helping with some garage things, and since he's a huge fan of Belicoso/Pyramid type cigars I gave him the BBF you see in the pics. He enjoyed, but is still a confirmed Monte 2 fiend. It's been quite a week - my wife and I joked it's the week of Guy: Masters Monday, Boston Tuesday for Red Sox home opener, then the Braves on Friday night. And tonight is final season of Game of Thrones. Quite a week. Construction good, but I'm getting spoiled with PSP sheen. Is that a common malady suffered by people here? I would think so. A nice cedar smell, and I used my usual V cut. Nice draw, nice even burn, good conversation and drink and smoke. Cedar and a little peanut. Delicious. I'm definitely keeping more of these around, when I *finally* get to Cuba I'm going to grab a couple boxes and keep my eyes open for PSP variants here.

I know that they are two different beasts, but humor me, which one do you prefer? Poll is up
