This review is long over due! I smoked this and reviewed it a few months back. But as most reviews start off; I was gifted this from a very generous man here in our community and he shared with me what he called one of his top favorite smokes!

1st third is so smooth with thick leather and a semi sweet vanilla/chocolate mix. The sweetness is unexpected but welcomed and enjoyable! Every now and then I get a taste of old cedar? The draw is not full smoke, but it is not tight either; with the profile on my pallet it is the perfect amount each draw.

Getting to the half way point the strength picks up. The sweetness has faded and the cigar is becoming more earthy now than before! Passing the half way point there is no harshness at all, I am loving this. It shows great age and is a full sweet earthy draw. I couldn't place the sweetness, but it was a mix of creamy cedar sweetness, I wish I could bottle this!

This is by far the best RA smoke I have ever had; RASS with age was always my fav, but this is kicken its butt.
I am honored to be able to smoke this being the first RE line started.
Thank you Bill, this is now by far in my top 5 as well!!
