El Presidente Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I'm just a little more wary of flippers and hype than I have been in years past. Wine, Cigars, it is of little difference. Premium consumables have the benefit of drink/smoke now or later....or sold on down the track as a result of need or choice. 3
Popular Post Nino Posted October 20, 2015 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2015 Haha in other words....OVERRATED Ive heard all I need to hear. To those that "went deep" good luck unloading your 35 boxes for a 30% markup Thanks for the reminder ! We went and had us some more of those overrated sticks today. And they sure will sleep in our collections :-) 13

kittipong Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 It's my choice as well. I don't wanna miss a choice like I did not buy a pile of PL Magnifico when it released 7-8 years ago.

HH123 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Being a big RA fan, grabbed a box... Still en route, will burn 1 when they land & probably bury the rest for a while.
celtmick1984 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 My box came in today, RAE JUL 15, #912; a very nice Halloween gift! 2
Habano Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Picking up my five boxes next week. Hoping to light one up next week in the new Fox lounge. 1

Habano Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 that should be a real nice treat, that place is on my bucket list to visit someday! I should be making a few trips over next year. Maybe we can get our schedules to agree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mk05 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 It's my choice as well. I don't wanna miss a choice like I did not buy a pile of PL Magnifico when it released 7-8 years ago.These are nowhere close to the idea, process, and execution that went into the Magnificos. I can't even fathom the comparison. Maybe you could draw the analogy to La Escepcions, as to which liking those are also your prerogative.
almudawi Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 It seems to be sold out everywhere I look! 1
Hoepssa Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 It seems to be sold out everywhere I look! Nowhere to buy on german sites
Lotusguy Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Nowhere to buy on german sites Don't think that was the last shipment yet.
CanuckSARTech Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted this recently in the recent purchases thread: Perhaps Habanos S.A. was so slow on delivery due to the apparent band shortage. Definitely happy to get these, though it's definitely been a long haul. Gracious to those to helped. Only got 2 of my wanted / intended 5 boxes, so we'll see how things roll for further alotments going out to the shops. 2
CanuckSARTech Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 They rolled an Lonsdale, put an RA band on it and called it an 898 . . . Anything else I should know about these, like if they actually were rolled on virgin thighs? Lord almighty people, the hype associated with this release is ridiculous. Who has even smoked one? One link to one review? Smoked pre-production / blending versions, though it was a 1/2" longer or so. Was quite nice, but unsure on the RA-classic flavour tones to me initially. A couple of us had a go with these.

Nice score I've got 1.5 boxes in transit Wanted to grab a couple more but the run around sourcing them, plus the crappy aussie dollar means I'll have to hope some of the later batches last a little longer til the budget recovers
Smallclub Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Just tried one of these. Pleasant cigar but lacking everything that makes a good RE; it will certainly benefit from ageing but I was expecting something better. Much ado about not much, IMHO.

If you've smoked regular production RA 898's,how would they compare?
