Pixa Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 225's were produced in 2011 (or 2012) and were announced by H&F they would be available just on 2015. Didn't you know that?The H&f 225 were not really a RE more to celebrate the 225 anniversary of H&F and were released at there anniversary party so would hardly say they were delayed. The delay between being produced and them being put to sale was on purpose as a turn back to the old ways where they used to store cigars for 2 years before selling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianmarco Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 My review on this cigar. Ramon Allones ER Allemania Long awaited Dalia (170 x 43). First Third Fresh and therefore slightly peppery start Taste Black pepper 3/5 Coffee 2/5 Earth 2/5 Cacao 1/5 Hazelnut 1/5 Second Third A better balance with coffee, cacao, hazelnuts and pepper Black Pepper 2/5 Coffee 2/5 Earth 2/5 Cacao 1/5 Hazelnut 1/5 Final Third The nutty and cacao are fading. Earth, pepper are more prominent. Black Pepper 3/5 Coffee 2/5 Earth 3/5 Cacao 0/5 Hazelnut 0/5 Final Slowly some bitternes creeps in Verdict 8.5/10 Good RA DNA but slightly more refined. Reminiscent of the H&F and the Swiss ER from 2014. A fresh cigar that is already good. I am sure in the future, once the pepper fades it will be a wonderful complex smoke. Buy now and put it away for a few years. Thanks for sharing.. any impression about the strenght? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks for sharing.. any impression about the strenght? Medium to strong 4.25/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 That no matter what, if the cigar is expected and delayed it will be a seller. And now has just crossed my mind Monte 80 Aniversario (they are not already available, arent they?). But they all have in common the double band... maybe this is the answer... Had the privilege of smoking an unbanded Monte 80th through a friend. Hands down the best new release I've tasted this year. Of course I haven't tasted each single cigar that came out this year plus I am a fan of Montecristo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS21 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Smoked one this weekend. Excellent. Nubbed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merovius Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Smoked my first one today.... First 3rd really interesting but indeed reminding me of the P898 with its ethereal and oily flavour profile... In addition quite like a mix of RAAE 2011 and RAAS. 2nd half till end it becomes a bit marshy in its youth.. Definitely needs time. Hope it will be smoked and not sold in 5 years for 3 times the price... Haha in other words....OVERRATED Ive heard all I need to hear.

Just sayin'. Of all the tasting notes, it seemed to be the most honest and objective. I'm not trying to make waves and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I'm just a little more wary of flippers and hype than I have been in years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigatoh Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Totally against flipping, I have one box and they're for smoking, but the general consensus seems very positive, will smoke one soon and post about it (while searching for more if they're as good as they smell ) But yeh, Lotusguy is right, no one is going to have a problem making money on these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree... I bought a few boxes, and will smoke one this weekend with a good friend. I will be happy to give my unbiased opinion. Already see some flipping on some popular sites... Some folks have more dollars than sense... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Would buy some if i could. Not in the budget right now and seems they won't be in the future. I would not "flip" them to make a buck. Not what I am in for. I am in to smoke and share with friends. That is what this is all about, for me anyway. What works for me does not have to work for anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm not planning to flip. Didn't buy 35 boxes either. However, if they reach silly money (like Monte Sublimes, for example), I'll be a seller of some. If not, I'll happily smoke them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
