I'm going to have to track one of those down. I don't care for the vitolas, but I've heard the blend is a smash. I went through cabs and cabs of those when they first came out.

Found this guy hiding out in a humidor. To the flame!

RyJ Churchill from 6/2017 with some dry process/natural Ethiopian coffee.

I'll have to grab one of those La Riquezas too, since my shop got some in. I remember enjoying a single or two back when they first came out, but hadn't really seen any around, or made any effort to look for them since.

In my humble opinion, a Robusto worthy of consideration, this is part of a limited 2019 release "5 Y.O 2014", the youngest often tend to be bitter on the finish when stressed. Creamy smoke, aromas in the Cuban tradition, wood, dried fruit, unobtrusive earth with a sweet background. Continuing, hints of bread crust and leather. Summing up rustic aromas.

Thanks to your comment, I tried Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 1 (2017), it was an awesome smoke.

A great cigar, crescendo intensity and creamy smoke. Packaging 898 can be said to have started with Ramon Allones.

I never had one of the Allones 898s, but I love the size and packaging. It would be on my shortlist of cigars I wish HSA would bring back, even if it was just a seasonal release, like a batch or two per year.

Not only do I agree, but I give you every reason ...
I guess that list is long

Unfortunately, I didn't find this anywhere near as good as some late 90s/early 00s RA 898 I've had. Those were exemplary sticks. Somewhere around 2010 or so, the Ramon Allones blend changed. Gone are the overt honey and musky notes and now it's the typical raisin toast profile common to contemporary Specially Selected and Small Club Coronas. Damned shame, but I know tobacco strains die out over time. Still, this was somewhat better and had more depth than your typical Specially Selected.

Padron 1926 No. 90 Maduro. For one of my very rare 1926s, I decided to try a shape I've never had before. This one is a round 5.5" x 52. If they weren't so pricey, I'd smoke them way more often, as I do really enjoy them! Drinking Colombian espresso and some Ethiopian drip.
