El Presidente Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 They are still relatively new to the market but enough of you may have had a chance to try them by now. Personally I am a fan of these. Medium full, fruity and tasty as hell. I think they will age well in the short to medium term (3 years - 5 years). I am often asked currently as to the difference in flavour between these and the Ramon Allones Superiores. I have my thoughts but would love your input as well
skalls Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 On my buy list sometime down the road. Along with more superiores when the budget has recovered.
TheMonk Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Gonna try one soon, perhaps next week. I quite like the Sups, so I'm hoping these will be able to somewhat match them.
polarbear Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Had a box arrive this morning I'm looking forward to trying them in 6 months (too humid up here ATM for CCs) I've been digging a few of the LE/RE RAs of late, hope these continue the trend
JohnS Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Rob, I'm curious to know if all the boxes you've inspected have had oily wrappers, or similar shade of wrappers. I've not sampled my Ramon Allones Club LE yet as I'm waiting for the wrapper to settle (I'll give it a few months). In the meantime, I'll be looking to grab a box if and when they come up again on 24:24. (But I know I'll have to be quick!)
Popular Post Habana Mike Posted November 5, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 5, 2015 Recently received some of these and the German 898. Smoked a couple of each. Actually both examples today back to back. The Club Allones comes out of the gate with some great aromas and complexity and carries it through the end. Wrappers on mine are more a Colorado Maduro than the darker leaf on most LE. For an LE I think these do deliver well on the profile of the Marca. A bit on the lighter side of medium to me but definitely a box-worthy cigar. The 898 is fuller and richer though gets quite muddled in the middle. True RA through and through. I believe the CA is much more approachable now but the 898 will better handle the long haul. 5
nick2021 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I haven't tried these but reviews have been 50/50....curious to see what more people say as time goes by.... 1
phlee Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I tried one last night for the first time and was fairly impressed. Very smokable already with some nice sweet notes in the second third. Got a bit spicy at the end, and I put it down the last inch or so Draw was a bit loose for my liking, but seems to be the case for the newer cigars - partagas maduro 1, magnum 56, Trinidad vigia
Bartolomeo Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I liked the original release Sups and have stayed away from them lately As far as the new RA, only smoked two but didnt care for them, will revisit down the road but dont think much of them initially like I did w Sups 2
Troels Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Bought a single of these recently, along with singles of ryj cedro de luxe and vigia, and it was the least enjoyable of the three. The opening was great, complex, but it didnt last and the rest of the cigar was too mild, the smoke too thin, though nicely condtructed. Felt as if the leafs was a product of some cemestry. My experience with aging is not extensive, as I've only been smoking for four-five years, but I couldnt imagine that it would age well. Only one single cigar though, so I'll have to give them a second chance. 1
LLC Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Had my first one last night but have to admit by the time I had that cigar my palate was not in great shape. Good draw and construction, medium full and the predominant flavor I was getting was a nice sweetness.
NicintheUK Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Absolutely loved the first two thirds and then went all young and 'fighty' in the last third. That will go with age and this will be a superb cigar. I plan to buy a couple of boxes and see you again in about three years when I suspect I shall wish I bought a lot more.
maverickdrinker Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 smoked one last night. Started off well but became mongrel, strong and discombobulated as it reached the end. Need to smoke a couple more samples before deciding to pick up boxes of these. Seems to have the pedigree to age. Review on my blog. 1
skarolla Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 What will be the retail on these? I don't see them in the store
maverickdrinker Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Here is my review. Hope it helps... https://thedirtyashes.wordpress.com/2015/11/07/2015-edicion-limitada-ramon-allones-club-allones/ 3
El Presidente Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 fruity hammer in a velvet glove. Glove slightly worn...more hammer right now 3
sactochris Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I just ordered a box and am very much looking forward to trying them.
ThatAlfonso Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Would taste better with the vintage wrapper on it...
Cigar Surgeon Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Smoked quite a few of these in Havana across two box codes. Thought the best of the two box codes was an immediate box buy rating. 1
Puros Y Vino Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I really enjoyed the first one I had. Excellent balance of fruity and savoury. Rich and bold throughout. Look forward to sampling some more over the next few months. 1
ChanceSchmerr Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 The one I smoked was definitely too young (and too "wet" for my tastes - should have dry boxed first). Great flavours developing along the RA profile but with a brown sugar sweetness I suspect is from the ridiculously oily maduro wrapper. I think in a few years time it would be something special...but has the potential to be a Cohiba Maduro instead (I.E. never able to shake off the powerful sweetness of the wrapper that muddles the rest of the cigar's palate, IMO). I got a box but probably won't get much more than that - If I miss out on a real cracker, so be it. It's not like it's a 42 RG cigar or anything Now the RA 898 German RE - THAT is a cracker cigar now, and for years to come. I don't think it'll match the classic RA 898 which to my understanding needed age to smooth out - but it's still delicious in its own right. 3
luv2fly Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Looking forward to trying the one from the Christmas Sampler.
JohnS Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I've not sampled my Ramon Allones Club LE yet as I'm waiting for the wrapper to settle (I'll give it a few months). In the meantime, I'll be looking to grab a box if and when they come up again on 24:24. (But I know I'll have to be quick!) Secured a box from the 24:24 sales yesterday. I still want to give this a few more months before I sample one, but 'boy' am I looking forward to it!
skalls Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 How long do you think they need to rest before that last third loses its youthfulness?
maverickdrinker Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 i took down 9 boxes when i was in varadero. wont smoke one for another year....
