Hi all, cutting it fine getting this one smoked. Today 3:20pm after work Great construction, smooth to the touch, boxed pressed with a well packed foot. Aroma at cold is sweet toasted tobacco. Used a guillotine cutter which reveals a perfect draw, just a slight resistance. 1st third - Beautiful opening, sweet honey, toasted tobacco and like a fresh bread taste. Best start so far from the 4 cigars. Medium body with an amazing burn. 2nd third - Ash falls off. Still the same flavours coming through, not much change at all. Sweet, toasted bread with no spice or pepper. A little milk coffee now, just a hint of it. Burn is great and draw perfect. Last third - A slight nutty note now starting but still the sweet honey or sugar profile dominates. Burn is razor sharp. Finished 4:30pm. 1hr 10min smoking time. Overall a very nice cigar, which I liked. Perfect for my smoking profile. The best so far for me.

Just beautiful PB....great pick ups

My wineadors are temperature controlled. The cigars never get over 68f. I'm happy with my setup

I don't freeze anything and where I live in Perth, Australia the temperature gets well over 40c (105f) in summer. I do though, keep a very close eye on both my wineadors. The temp inside my wineadors never gets above 68f. The humidity is between 63%-66% pretty much all year round. In winter I can even turn off my wineadors for a couple of months until the hot weather starts to return. I'm not saying that this is the best way but I works for me.

Cigar #2 Time: 4pm Paired with coffee and a water Dark brown wrapper with minimal veins. Very good construction, well packed with no soft spots. Used a punch, which reveals a great draw. Pre-light shows a slight grassy and toasted tobacco taste. Very nice. 1st third - Beautiful start, little sweet with a fruity flavour. Some nice toasted tobacco and then a hint of spice. Medium to full start. 2nd third - The ash is holding on well, showing how good the construction is. There is a lot more spice and pepper now, with some cinnamon. Ash drops off halfway through the 2nd third. Now darker with earth and leather. Good burn. Last third - The earth picks up and now some nuts. Still spicy and peppery. Nice leather taste. Has moved to full now. Finished 5:10pm. In the end, a good cigar which I enjoyed better than cigar #1.

RASCC for me.....I like the sweet fruity profile of RA over the spicy peppery profile of the shorts. But I'm a big fan of everything RA! (even the RA extra)

Welcome mate! Enjoy your time here, there's lots of great advice and help.

Fantastic mate! Beautiful presentation
