MattW Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 These look great! Tried the Perlas last year which were fantastic, if they're anything to go by then I'll have to pop over to Germany one weekend this year and grab a box!
Nino Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Habe zwei bei Herzog und zwei in Stuttgart vorbestellt - einer von den Beiden wird ja wohl liefern koennen. Sonst schau ich halt bei dir vorbei und schnorre da ein Versucherle Gruss! Claus Du bist jederzeit bei uns willkommen - wie kennen unsere Schwaben :-) Mir gebbet nix, mir nehme' nur .... Raff' Dich auf und komm' in die Apotheke - auch ohne Rezept Grüße / Nino
SokaKiel Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Lucky me, I've secured a box online from the Casa Leipzig yesterday! At least that one won't find it's way to the pharmacy :-) Unfortunately it'll be another three month until I'll be back home in Germany to try them. Looking forward to hearing a few more opinions on these, usually I like Nino's recommendations - maybe I should order a few more boxes...
Afficionado1 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 We smoked one yesterday and we all 3 agreed. Def. a good cigar. I usualy smoke one, buy a box (or two) to try at home and then when they're really good I reserve a few more. I took home 10 boxes yesterday after smoking just one.

SoKaKiel, as Frank just posted, we truly enjoyed the cigar, which we ( at least Andreas did ) considered to outperform the 2010 RA ER Alemania Piramides we had as a second cigar yesterday. I'd go for more than one box. As there will be ( I believe ) 6000 boxes, it shouldn't be a problem. Only the Partagas Lusitania Gran Reserva we had after dinner topped the RG, as was to be expected. 1
Nino Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Here some more text and pictures of yesterday's cigars and fun : http://flyingcigar.d...lez-in-cologne/ 1

Nino, Are you sure on this? I am very close to buying a box of the RA Alemania RE Belicosos, I've wanted a box for a very long time and about to buy from the only guy left I can find who has 'em (though I've not forgotten your "handshake" note about him), but now I'm wondering if it's worth it..... Glad to see you still living well! Hopefully our paths will cross again in 2014
Nino Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Chris !! What can I say - again, that was a consensus ( Andreas brought it up ) - But I guess a fair one, as we smoked both vitolas within one hour of each other, so I believe it fair to compare. As for your purchase - hey, buy both Seriously, don't listen to other people, buy what you like, I am a RA man myself and would rather buy the RA, but yesterday we happened to find the RG better. You are welcome to drop by anytime - I still wear your HMCS Vancouver cap with pride
lopezoscar03 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 has anyone been able to source these yet?
oliverdst Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Not trying to be a smart ash but you can easily find them in German LCDH.
shlomo Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 has anyone been able to source these yet? Have one on the way to try.
Stevieboy Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Smoked my first one tonight. Excellent smoke for such a young 'un. Can't wait to see how these develop

Wanted one for quite some time but probably pricey by now
Stevieboy Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 What is the going rate for a box of RA Alemania Beli's these days? Wanted one for quite some time but probably pricey by now If you can find them they're E262.50. I was lucky to find a box in Berlin in Oct 13 but I think they're sold out everywhere else Here's a pic to get the envy gland working overtime
Laxman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Wow I am jealous! Those look as tasty as I thought they would. Saw a box yesterday at 120 Euros higher then that and was not really interested but after seeing your pic and checking some reviews may have to do it. As far as teh RG's go, after reading this thread last night I put an order in for two boxes and will smoke one on arrival to gauge whether I want to grab more.
shlomo Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 have tried a few ra bellicoso...not to my liking, just kind of plain-jane and not worth the extra cost over the ra superiores imo. 2
Laxman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I love the RA superiors, great smoke and for the price per stick it does not get much better,
dangolf18 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Yea some guy was asking 550$ on another site. I had bought a box duty free for 225 euros when they first came out. Lasted me 3 months.
Charltonc Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I like the ra belicoso germany a lot, even better than the 05 ra belicoso, personal preference. 1
Laxman Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 The 05's are one of my favorites have a box and would love another but hard as hell to find. Going to have to try the 10's then.
Laxman Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 How do you guys rate the RG PP's against the other 2013 RE's?
LouisMazzini Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 interesting on the RG REs! Do they have the typical RG flavor profile or just a good cigar in general that may not be the typical RG blend. I too, found the Diplomatiocs RE Espana to be a "good" cigar, but not much like the dip profile. Very floral to boot. Will be interesting to see this one. Thanks for the pics Nino, et. al.
