Had to try one after our talk. Man this thing is good! Good flavor throughout this thing. Perfect for the 45 degrees out here too

I just couldn’t wait...
It makes me wonder why I have never bought a box of RASS before. They are amazing cigars and this one was spot on especially just arriving yesterday!

I was going to buy a box of these but was confused, they have a 50 cab and 25’s but the 50’s say SLB after it. Is there a difference?

SLB = slide lid box

SLB = slide lid box

Ahh okay makes sense. Would there be any reason to spend $80 more with a 50 cab vs 2 25 count boxes? My guess is no

If I remember a conversation with Bill correctly, cabs are better for long term aging.

SLB is a slid lid box. They are the solid cedar boxes.


Then there is the dress boxes that are paper wrapped with lots of artwork.


The SLB boxes are better for long term aging but hard to find sometimes and not available on most lines. If you can find the RASS in a 50 cab (SLB) DO IT AND DO IT NOW!!!!

I personally would say no if that was the case.

About to go for round 2 with the Robusto

Archetype Axis Mundi Corona vs Robusto

Axis Mundi Corona Smell- Heavy barnyard Cut - Straight cut Dry draw - raisins Construction - didn’t seem very dense very spongey feel for the first 2/3rds of stick, wrapper has small crack close to the band, didn’t get worse while smoking so wasn’t really an issue... Burn - The wrapper was...

Definitely worth $1.60 per cigar... they will age better, and taste better (my experience)
