I have not had a great extra. I have smoked through boxes and boxes of great superiores.

Enjoying a Superiores tonight and these just get better with age. Wonderful flavour profile and so consistent. Will fire up a RAE tomorrow to compare...

I'm surprised by the lack of love for the Extras! To me they are an amped-up RASS ... gaining spiciness while sacrificing some of the creaminess. I wouldn't want to give up either of those sticks, a

The first RA Extra I tried had minus zero flavor or aroma to it. Never wanting one try to condemn a smoke, I got another one some time later. Same thing. The Ramon Superiores - YEAH! WAY TO GO! Excellent Ramon Allones familiar honeyed joy! 2thumbs.gif

general consensus is that RA Extras are only Extra in one criteria:

Being shitty...

[C'mon Maplepie... Did you even TRY for that joke!?]

But seriously: i actually enjoyed all three of the Extras i smoked. In fact, pairing it with a good cognac made me feel like i was smoking an NC with development. Now- i know that doesn't make people rush out to buy them - calling a 'premium' CC an NC... But it worked for me!

Probably also because i went into the smoke thinking it'd be absolute shite.

Did you just talk about yourself, TO yourself, in the 3rd person?????

:blink:

 

EDIT - just realized the now-passed 2-year leeway with these posts.  Don't know why this just came up in my CURRENT FEED!!!!  Freakin' forum upgrades!!!!!  :tantrum:

That said, it's interesting to see people's thoughts on these now, compared to "back in the day".

Decided to dip into a RAAE today and I must say these have basically turned into a Superiores. 

I recall these being a bit rougher and having quite a bit if that EL character over the years but that's now gone. 

Mellow, light stonefruit, lightly herbal...almost identical to a 17 Superiores I just had. I'd also suggest these RAAE are pretty much peaked, at least for the near future. I didn't sense anything budding to come out although this is a bit fruitier than I remember, so perhaps that will increase a bit more but then again, the Superiores are a bit fruitier. 

I don't think these are anything to hunt down. Just get the Superiores and you'll get the same experience.
