kuma Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Looks like I'm at the cross roads again when it comes to cigars made of the same brand name. Case in point; It is not a really big deal but wanted some input from members about two smokes I'm considering purchasing. RA Club Allones vs RA Superiores. Not sure if I have asked this question before and I may have but it could have been one of those nights where it was a litle foggy and I don't mean outside weather but more akin to my "state of mind" after a few. Any thoughts would be of the utmost help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Both are good, it depends on your flavor preference. I find the Superiores on the sweeter side, more earth/savory from the Clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalAaron Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I recently was in your same position and ended up purchasing a box of each. After letting them settle I hope to put the fire to each of them and see which I prefer. Being they are only 10ct boxes it helps making it a smaller investment, I read many reviews of each cigar and could not make up my mind so decided to order a box of each. Good luck with your decision and let us know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Rob's analogy about your cigar collection being akin to a golf bag has always rung true to me. Are you in need of a small smoke; grab the SCC. If you're looking for something longer then go with the Sups. Or just buy 5 Sups and 10 SCC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts would be of the utmost help. I've had both and personally my vote would go to the CA. Although my aim would be to eventually own both. I love the jammy peach apricot notes on the club Allones. Such a unique flavor in a CC to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjmclain22 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Had my first CA recently as it came with the Xmas sampler. It was really good. A bit sweeter and richer than the Superiores that I have. The CA was like Allones on roids imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmancbr Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Superiores all day. However...Being an RA whore I'm going deep on the clubs as I truly think they will be marvelous smokes in 3-5 years when they settle and meld together a bit more. They are just all over the place right now...Mongrels. I did just place some sups in a mag 46 cab for an aging experiment. Thinking about doing that with the clubs too. Just to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuma Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks one and all for your input. I will keep these thoughts in mind when I "pull the trigger" on the Allones. I just may buy them both when the time comes. Cao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarveyBoulevard Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have sampled both. I only have a box (or 10) of the Superiores. I don't own any RACA. The RACA was good but it was actually too strong for my preference. Good flavors but still prefer the format and flavors of the Superiores.

avaldes Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Some interesting comments about the Club Allones. The last cab of RAC's I got were insanely strong for the first five years. Perhaps the Clubs might remind me of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about doing that with the clubs too. Just to see. I did the same a few months back mostly because I just don't like the feel or look of the 10 ct dress boxes. It gets way too sparse in their too quickly. I can get my head around the 10 ct SBN though for what that's worth. We'll see if it does any good...

FCUBUCK Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Superiores for me. I've never had a bad Sup. The only club I've tried just would not burn. Layed them down for 3 months and dry boxed it for 2 days and it wouldn't stay lit. I am hoping the next 9 are better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to us every once in a while too, thank goodness rarely. So we ditch it and choose something else. Hope your next one is great after all this build up!

FCUBUCK Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I agree CB. I've had a few duds here and there but over all pretty good luck. I'm going to stay optimistic for the last 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have a pretty clear opinion of these cigars (one of the rare instances....). For me, in this size range, it actually is a close match between the RASS and the Superiores. In terms of quality, they are the better cigars (and I won't argue with anyone here - they are! ). Also they are sharing the same, typical family DNA and a very similar flavour quality. Since I prefer the Corona Gorda format over a Robusto, and since they are even priced competitively, it's an easy decision for me: In this case I am actually gruntled at the vitola addition (and not bec. of the second band...haha). It were only consequent of HSA to add the Sups as a 50-cab regular production to the brand. Well, speaking of logics.... But recent RASS production has been excellent as well (cabs - well folks, get prepared, they are so good actually, expect HSA to axe them very soon....). So these are the two I prefer over the Club Allones. The CA is a slightly different animal, less refined and a typical LE for me. I even don't find it to be that much stronger actually. A decent to good cigar, but I wasn't overly impressed so far by the CA, in particular at its 40% markup. Will it mature and improve over time? - Sure. But RASS and Superiores do as well, if not more.....The Superiores always makes for a very relaxing smoke, what you can't always say of the CA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
