Ramon Allones Specially Selected, you all know what that is I'm sure. Most of you have probably smoked this, but I'm doing this review mostly for my own sake; to improve at my hobby
I decided to smoke this outside, even though it was a bit cool outside. That didn't matter much. I punched it with my .44 and then lit it up. Somehow I like punching smaller robustos more than cutting them (easier that way imo). At first I was wondering is everything alright, because the ash looked weird, but that was just a couple minutes. It burned very well all the way from there on. When I had smoked half of it the white ash was still clinging on. The first five minutes or so it had a bit of a burnt bitter taste, but then it passed. After that it was great. I can't tell the individual flavors it had, at least not with my current experience. It gave lots of creamy smoke however, and my bourbon went well with it (Old Virginia 8yo bourbon). A good smoke :thumbs: I am sure that one day I will acquire more of these.
