RA Superiores VS Hoyo Epicure De Luxe LCDH

[BurnBerry]

If Superiores were 250 and De Luxe were 350, which would you prefer?

After smoking a 5er of each I think I would have a good idea

If you found a box of RA Superiores LCDH for $250 and you haven’t bought them yet, you’re smoking the wrong stuff!

That’s an incredible price, especially with the market right now.

$350 for the Epi DL is also a great price. I’d grab that Ramon box though stat!

My only caveat is “watch out for deals that are too good to be true when dealing with Cuban Cigars.”

Because it probably is.

RA Superiores would be my choice.

I burned the Hoyo this morning.

Superb cigar!

The Ramon will follow in a day or two…most likely Friday AM.

The RA's are really good. At $25 a piece, they are a bit expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

PM me for your source for the Hoyos, if it is who I think it is, i may be able to help.

Burned the RA this morning after the deluge stopped. We’ve been getting an unprecedented amount of rain this summer!

While the two cigars have similarities, the HDM was more lively with cedar, nuttiness, baking spices, and milk chocolate.
Whereas the RA had darker flavors. Less cedar, more oak wood and earth. Dark chocolate, espresso, and a buttery, cookie dough mouth feel without the sugar. The final third was very appealing and with a noticeable barnyard flavor. Super funky finish compared to the chocolate cake finish of the HDM.

Draw was tight on the RA with minimal smoke production, yet the cigar had no combustion issues and the burn was razor.

Both great cigars and both worth enjoying imho.

If I HAD to choose…

1. HDM
2. RA

I would gladly smoke both cigars again.

I smoked an RA a couple years ago that changed my life! If I could afford it, those are all I’d smoke.
