Richard's Past experience:

I have not met an aficionado who has not praised this Robusto. It is strong, excitingly piquant and packed with explosive nervous character, rather like a stallion. Equally appreciable during the day or with a meal, this Ramón Allones will impress you with its build, its smoothness and its ripe fullness on the palate and the nose. Smoking this cigar is a “real” experience !

"Quite simply the best cigar I've had - and I've had many...including all of the top cubans."

"Few of my cigar buddies know this robusto and its a jewel. I love this one after a good grilled steak and red wine. It's rich tasting, similiar to, but more complex than my other favorite, Partagas series 'D'"

"After trying seveal different bands, I think I've found the one!! I read the feadback from others and place an order based on that. The comments on this smoke were right on. I received my cab this morning and I know they should go in the humidor for aging but I had to try one right out of the box. All I can say is "Perfect" I smoked it down to the nub and wanted more. This is a must try smoke!!"

"A well balanced Robusto with an acceptable flavour of havana. I always keep a box in my humidor..."

"The lot I just received is excellent! Jul-06,These are the best non E.L. Robusto I have tried yet from 2006.All thing,s considered they are a better cigar than the Bolivar Royal Corona!You must try these.."

"believe it or not my first RASS was a disapointment. I rated it 3.0. I had more to smoke and it was evident that i had received a bad one which we all can atest to. Cuba is known for inconsistentcies to put it mildly. Smoking only one cigar of a certain brand and rating that cigar would be most unfair. The rest of the RASS are rated 4.8"

"These are a great value and my go-to cigars when I want a full Cuban taste. Seem to impress all my smoking clients, as well. Matches well with a peaty single malt."

"Very nice cigar, smoother than Partagas D4, yet still very tasty. A bouquet of nice flavours : including a strange (but nice) salty/spicy kind of thing :) Just bought a box of 25..."

"When they're on, superb. A lovely Autumn smoke, as Richard says, but smoke em whenever you can. Benefit more than some others from a few months (or years if you can resist them!) in the humidor."

On 2006-08-08, Petar give the note of 4.7
"After smoing many robustos I have to say that this is my favorite. The flavor is complex and superb, some coffee, nuts, cedar and a touch of spice. RA SS deliver good punch, power, with smoothness, more powerfull than Juan Lopez #2 and bit less harsh and spicy than D4s. Got them from Richard a few weeks ago, superb smoke, everyone should try these and have it in a humidor."

"Wow! Strong and evolving flavor. Definitely that oldtime companion- steadily tickling my nosehairs- that nice lingerering force with a high gravitational coeff. It's funny how there's a bit of deviation from the 2005 ones I mysteriously obtained at this anonymous location. Yours are still as delightful, but I kinda want to age them a bit, if possible. Your stuff really seems meticulously cared for. Ours, 2005 Robinias also, were a bit darker and crunchy. But oily and without any degradation whatsoever. I don't think yours are green, but ours were a bit more maduro. Maybe it's a microbial thing? I still am full of gratitude! All my boxes were impeccable ( Bolivar, Robaina, Diplomaticos, and these.)!"

"Ago, one more time..Cohiba $385 these $220 you tell me. Once again an unreal smoke. EVERYONE should have a few of these in their box no matter what else you smoke."

On 2005-08-09, Sbardian give the note of 4.8
"Everything else about this cigar is great but I was most impressed by the fullness of flavor, so thick and creamy...and a very pleasant, long lasting aftertaste that reminds you that you smoked a premium cigar. The R.A.S.S. has a harmonius balance of flavors that complement eachother very well-coffee with subtle tanned leather, then cinnamon is invited along with nutmeg, a full house of multidimensional smoke. Any serious smoker should try this robusto!! Goes great with a nice steak dinner."

"Wow - just back from smoking one of these in the royal parks in central London. Amazing multi layered smoke, lots of taste, very 3 dimensional smoke. Lovely full meaty clouds. Contrary to some comments I would say they are little full bodied, took me by surprise when I stood up. Closer to Bolivar than Cohiba I would say. Everyone should try one, but possibly after a meal as apposed to sunbathing ;-)"

"Well true to form I made another order of these wel priced smokes. The construction was much better and they really seem to grow on me as I am down to only a few sticks left I am thinking that I might just get another box of these they I think will become a stable in my humidor and just the right size to smoke sitting in traffic. If more people smoked these in their cars there would be less of a rush to get places"

"Always the cigar I come back to. Very Vry nice. Anyone who has never tasted these and spends twice as much for Cohibas is really missing out."

On 2005-02-16, Roy give the note of 4.0
"The smoke was a great smoke good body all the way through with a developing flavor throughout. the only down side was that the construction was a bit off. loose wrap and an uneven burn. These are the risks of a true hand rolled smoke. The quality of the smoke though will have me getting another box before I pass full judgement."

"After a few glasses of champagne and few glasses of Cabernet, this little gem of a stogie took my buzz to a whole new level...I tasted cinnamin and a frind of mine thought nutmeg, but both of us agreed...this one packs a mean punch. Thick rich smoke, perfect draw and ash. A blast to smoke...This one is now my favorite and will always be in my humidor...will be getting more Richard ...Thanks!!!"

"They have long been a standard in my humidor. A great day time smoke for the more experienced palate."

On 2004-08-21, Danny give the note of 4.2
"I loved the flavors in this cigar, the spices alone kept my palate busy, but the hint of coffee, and every so often and very nice cedar taste/scent would emerge. This batch, however brought the rating lower, as they didn't burn too smooth. Nice, draw, large mouthsful of rich smoke, but they burned pretty hot. I look forward a box of "5's"!"

On 2004-08-12, Danny give the note of 4.6
"My first R.A.S.S., an incredible Robusto! Though the flavors of spice, cedar, some coffee, among others, are many, each is easily distinguishable in a palateful of some of the richest smoke ever. I think I like this at least as much as the Cohiba Robusto, and at $5.00, it's an absolute steal."

"received my order, packed to perfection by richard,
this robusto is a real value compared to the cohiba etc...
can go wrong with this, flavors of spice, espresso, cream soda, creamy coffee.
the best for the money"

"I have smoked a number of these be be sure I was not fooling myself. This cigar has one of the most alluring rich spicy aromas I have experienced. Great taste which builds to the last. Best robusto I have smoked this year."

"LG 2003-9-18
My most recent box of RASS were superb. Filled with coffee, nutty and spices. The second half of this meaty robusto was full bodied but complex and had a great draw which gave me lots of rich smoke. This cigar could be smoked in the morning with your coffee or after a light evening meal. Thanks for a great box Richard, LG"

"There seem to be some great boxes coming through right now. Dark, oily wrappers, rich flavours. Needs time, then should be a lovely smoke. (Only negative - the most recent example was a little loosely filled.)"
