Choices, choices....

[Evildan]

So im a new cigar smoker, and I have decided to take a quality over quantity approach to trying sticks.

My local cigar shop is fairly limited and quite pricey, but does have 2 interesting choices in at the minute. I'm going to treat myself at the weekend which do I plum for...?

Ram?n Allones Petit Belicoso Edici?n Regional Gran Breta?a (2012)
or
Hoyo de Monterrey Short Hoyo Pir?mides Edici?n Limitada 2011

what do you guys think?

Think Hoyo might bring the majority vote

[peanutpete]

hoyo would be my vote

[oskihen]

RA for me

[Simon G]

Two totally different brands, taste wise, so maybe give both a try if you can
The Hoyo won't be as strong I wouldn't have thought...

[TonyN]

Like simon said ,tried both myself when they came on the market hoyo is milder compared to the ramon allones
but they are completely different in taste personaly i'd go for both only way to find out in my opinion.

[PeeJay]

My vote for the Hoyo

[cj121]

Like TonyN says, or personally I'd go for the RA profile over the Hoyo. I've never had either of these cigars btw.

So would I normally but I find these RA LE very inconsistent

Well, that's the helpful voice of experience Pierre, cheers

[Evildan]

Hmmm.... Might plum for both....

Not cheap at ?16 each though

Hoyo for me anything i have had by them has always been good

[Emaresee]

nice choices to have... I'd start with the Hoyo... and work up to the RA. But I am an unabashed HdM fan...

upside is that your local seems to have an eye for something a bit different, so chances are that they will have more interesting treats in future. Get to know them... you never know, they might tuck one of the others away for you.

Upside is there will always be something delicious to spend your cash on!

Chose the Hoyo. I have a box & you can tell me how they are doing!
