Same Mastercase. Pick A or B

[El Presidente]

From the same Mastercase of RASS.

They are both PSP. 

Assuming you had a good mate who offered you to take one box as a gift. Which would you pick. 

Use the poll. 

 

Box A 

 

Box B 

 

[RedLantern]

Those look so oily they would easily stain whatever you set them on . . . yum!

[inter4alia]

A all day.

[HDGSN]

A for RASS. Mottled would be good too.

[ChangBang]

Would take A!

[havanaclub]

A for rass

A no question. 

[mprach024]

Yummmmmm.  A, yes please.  If B were more rosado than maybe, but as it is, A all the way.

[Habana Mike]

A for these, Partagas, Bolivar, VR, SLR. B for most others.

[lovethehaze]

A all day. Smoked one just like it today and it was wonderful had to be dark and oily for the RASS 

[ReelMan]

For RASS, A is a no-brainer for me.  I like the shiny stuff.

[westg]

A Dark and Oily. 

[nKostyan]

A for smoking now, B for aging

[Deeg]

If they were PLs or Montes, B for sure.  For RASS?  Kick some A.

[La_Tigre]

B because I’ve seen very little that shade in that level of quality. 

[RDB]

RASS, Bolivar and VR: go dark to bring out the rich flavours.

[GaryK 54]

No hesitation, A. RASS dark and oily is hard to beat.

Well said.

The best aged RASS I've had had been the same shade as B. 

[CaptainQuintero]

  Voted A but meant to pick B, good job our voting isn't electronic here 

  I've grown to appreciate lighter wrappers over the years, unless I'm looking for something specific like the old red RyJs, then I've found that they generally outperform the darker, even if my heart says pick the darker one. As long as the wrappers are thin and supple with good oil they're usually a winner for me, a lot more balance.

[ha_banos]

I'm confused. It's only the wrapper. You don't know what the filler and binder is saying. They are both PSP same crop. I know the wrapper affects taste somewhat. So surely it's all placebo beyond that!

I prefer the look of the lighter wrapper.

Caveat. I don't have much experience with RASS. But generally, how a cigar looks doesn't always translate to how good it is.

[Fugu]

Would pick B and leave the nicer looking box to my good mate. ?

[Puros Y Vino]

My eyes tell me grab the greasy, dark box. My palate has found that the paler looking sticks smoke better.  ?

[djrey]

A for me, hands down!

[Connoisseur Kim]

Definitely A for sure! B looks too pale and rustic in my eyes.
