Hello from UK/Ramon Allones Club Allones 2015

[FatPete]

Hi and a big hello from the UK.
Hope I will learn a lot from this site.
Ive smoked  the odd cigar through my life, but when I went to Cuba last year I had a great time and as everyone was smoking, salsa, and the atmosphere I decided to smoke some more. I really enjoyed smoking Lanceros, Esplendidos,RYJ Churchills and Partagas D no4. All were quite different but very enjoyable.
I brought some Lanceros back and continued to enjoy them, and was quite excited to try new cigars. 
Since then I have smoked Fonseca KDT Cadetes, which I found aromatic and creamy, but went bitter at the end, so as a treat I bought an expensive Ramon Allones Club Allones 2015 limited edition. Well what a disappointment. All I got was a dry tobacco flavour from the start,which got progressively harsher as I smoked. Threw the last half away. Burnt well, plenty nicotine, but I could have smoked 3 packs of cigarettes for the price.
Not sure where to go with cigars now-stick to what I know or keep at it?
What do others think of the Ramon Allones Club Allones 2015 limited edition ?
Best wishes
FatPete

The RA club allones is fantastic. One of my favs. Which I feel has legs to be an absolute beauty in 5-8 yrs or more.

Welcome - sounds like your Club Allones need a little more time to reach their glory. Let us know what happens.

Welcome to the forum, Pete.  There are many reasons you may not have gotten the best out of those sticks that disappointed you.  Hang around a while and read and learn.  I think you will find it to be time well spent.  Glad you've joined us.

Thanks Stogieluver for your comment. I have decided to stick with it and learn. I've even found a cigar to beat my beloved Lanceros, the H Upmann Royal robusto. I also tried a RASCC (even getting into the abbreviations eh) and enjoyed it but never again for the club Allones. Maybe  it was a dud stick as you suggest. 

Cheery bye
