Some years ago, early 2000s, I went to a local restaurant/microbrewery/bar. You could still smoke in places then. I don’t remember what year or box code the RASS was, but it had to be early 2000s. It was an EMS box I had ordered from England. It was snowing lightly and I remember a college football game was on TV. I can’t describe the flavors, but there were a variety of them and they were wonderful. I always refer to that cigar as the LSD trip of cigars. Never had another cigar like it.

I have a box of RASS - OER MAY 21. They're incredible. Every single one. Hard as hell to describe, but now I know it's "LSD trip." That's what it is. I may have landed the same blotter, found in the bottom of a long-forgotten drawer at Hunter S. Thompson's place.

• Peach and Nectarine in a SLR DC. 
• Icing sugar off a AF Don Carlos. 
• Salted butter from a VR Unicos (just didn't expect it). 
• Apple pie from a Tatuaje Double Corona.

Yes...I've had old MC with a creamy stone fruit note that I was pleasantly surprised to find in an old Viaje Satori recently.

Chocolate covered cherries from a Tatuaje black label petit lancero! BTW - not a flavored cigar.
