RA Belicoso RE POS MAR 07

[Bartolomeo]

-Perfect construction, packed tight but not too tight, one of the better looking cigars I have smoked in a while

-Full body from the start with coffee, wood and cocoa flavors

-Fruits and pepper also show up in the 1/3 and I want to say maybe Carrot Cake……

-This has always been one of my favorite cigars since I started smoking and grab a fiver every chance I can get

-I think this is a cigar where the slower you smoke it, the more changes you are able to pick up compared to some other cigars

-Ash looks like roll quarters its so tight, Grey in color, Medium amounts of smoke

-Very smooth in flavor/profile, a taste that stays with you and I don’t mind one bit

-2/3 brings out more nutty flavors with continued sweetness, again, another weird flavor for me, Juicy Fruit gum 

-Last 1/3 has a touch of Cinnamon with continued fruit/pepper and sweet gum flavors

-Just confirms my earlier thoughts as one of my top 5 smokes

-9.2/10

Nice review Bart. Will have to add these RAs to my list.

Thanks for the review. Getting kinda jealous of you though. You seem to have such nice looking cigars and such great write ups.

Any chance we can get a comparison of the '7 and the '05. The '05s are to die for....

Hey Bart - what is the difference between those two smokes in the pictures? The one without the RE band has a RA band that looks cheaper and slightly blurrier than the RE's RA band.

Just curious!

The other is the RA Especial de Allones RE France from 2008, I plan on reviewing it later. Same size, just added band.

I will work on it

I am a hustler but I can honestly say these RA Beli UK RE are some of the hardest cigars to find b/c no one wants to give them up, they are that good
