Ramone Allones Small Club Corona - SOU AGO 20 (SELRW)

[triphitter]

I purchased these from 24:24 on 1/13 and received them on 2/1. Despite 18 inches of snow received here in Connecticut on 2/1 and outside temperatures in the low 30s & high 20s, I was not able to wait even 48 hours before indulging. What I lack in words I will dazzle you with photos.

So here is my first FOH novice review.

Aroma at cold - cedary, woody, toasted

Draw - easy and perfect (for me)     Construction - very nice, not too firm

1st 3rd - I got flavors of biscuit, toasted nuts, and "some" cream. The initial plumes of smoke were great and full.

2nd 3rd - Coffee comes in and the toasted oats/nuts continue. I also took the obligatory selfie.

Final 3rd - Coffee and cedar earthiness take over. This last photo is when the outside cold took over and my hands said "go inside".

This was a very enjoyable cigar, burn was impeccably perfect throughout with ZERO touchups, and had a medium body for basically the entire 40 minutes. Very happy to have 24 more of these in the chamber and will let them rest for about another 3+ months until golf weather starts to come back. I'm sure they will evolve.

These would go well with a morning coffee or evening stout. 90/91 grade from me. Cheers.
