Allones Extra EL 2011

[travisbickle34]

Hi,

Can anyone advise on these sticks?

I am a RA virgin so unsure of what to expect but am getting strong impulses to buy a box of these regardless. I am ashamed to say I think it is the prettiness of the bands that is causing this
What sort of quality and flavours are to be expected?

I'm a big RA fan, I love the RASS especially for it's chili chocolate and dried fruit sweetness.

Ajay did a review on the Extras here but although he appeared to like them I'm not sure they are for me.

He's smoking in a sweet shop! git... ;p

Hmm. They sound interesting.

Decisions decisions....

THe reviews suggest they are powerfull cigars so if you like full body they may suit. NB - still very young.

I tried the RAAE about 2 weeks back. I didn't find it too full bodied, definitely out of the RA stable for sure but no stronger than a young RASS in my view.

Tried the Hoyo Petit Pyramid EL'11 yesterday and that is showing it's young age far more than the RA. The Hoyo had quite a nicotine kick, something I didn't notice with the RA.

Travis..I have to agree re: the old bands. Sexy as hell

[travisbickle34]

Sexy enough to buy a box without testing them first?

I smoked on last week and quite enjoyed it but I have heard some mixed views from others. Not as strong as I expected, but the general opinion is that they will improve with age. From my stand point that makes them a good cigar.

Get one as a single and try it before you buy a box though!

Probably wise. Sometimes the urge just takes over though

I have resisted ordering a box - for now at least

As a big RA fan myself, this is one I want to try. But for now, I'll wait to pull the trigger on this one - a we bit too expensive for a stick that needs significant aging.

But Hey! That's just me....

Hey el Perro! Might it have something to do with your exhausted credit line?

At least I can reassure the other half that I'm not the only one

[TJCoro]

Back Ordered My Arse!

Along with the Upmann Royal Robusto....

I'm waiting on a box of these myself. Placed an order about 3 f'ing weeks ago!! WTF!


Bag Boy

Hey Bag Boy! They should be Well Aged by the time you get 'em!

Haha! Or fresh as a fing daisy!

[Stevieboy]

Still not got them TJ? I know they're definitely available as Steve(griff) tweeted that he'd had one?!?
