Ramon Allones 8-9-8 Review:
Usually, when someone says "898", everybody thinks Partagas, but it should not be forgotten that Ramon Allones also have a great 898 cigar, and in the opinion of Ramon Allones brand lovers, it is much better than the one from Partagas. This is a long habono and is not so strong in flavour as its cousin from Partagas.

Review #19: This is a fantastic cigar. While I love the Partagas 898 Varnished, the RA 898 is equally fantastic in a different way. Lots of flavor packed into a medium bodied smoke, with thick rich smoke. I taste leathery earthiness, hints of fruit, earth and spice ... it almost overloads your tastebuds. The thing that is so great is that the flavor transitions from beginning to end ... beautiful. I highly recommend few cigars, but this would be one of them. Working through 2002 box right now. - Submitted by fabio on November 1, 2007
Review #18:  Managed to snag a bag of 5 of these at my cigar shop, for a decent price. I had to try one right away, of course. Very nice, smooth cigar, with a nice draw (despite being warned about the possibility of a crappy draw). Strong flavours of wood and spice, mainly, along with leather and coffee. Very flavourful, nice development, and a good duration. Definitely worth the price I paid for them; I can't believe they lasted so long, frankly. - Submitted by agraupe on August 3, 2007
Review #17: It is quite unusal to have inconsistency within the same box, on smoke and taste. If just taking about tight draw, it may happen. This vitola never fail me. Suggest to ask your supplier to clear this query. Whole box is difficult to find today. Have doubt mixing different Dalia to fill up to full box. - Submitted by Derek.C. on May 24, 2007
Review #16: I have to disagree with the crowd on the greatness of this cigar. I bought a box that looked beautiful with oily, dark wrappers. The 10 or so cigars that I have tried so far have been tight with a very firm draw, an extremly annoying smoke. The couple others that smoked well delivered fantastic flavors, getting stronger and spicier by the end. But the box is inconsistent. - Submitted by oussafa on March 26, 2007
Review #15: A great smoke. after running out of Coronas Gigantes i decided to try 898. the two i tried were aged well (2001) and consistant. smooth pale silky texure, smelled fresh earthy but not spicy and not oily. easy to light with an even burn till the end and an easy draw. consistant taste all through. meduim strength, and not spicey. full of cuban earthy flavour yet does not attack the palate. good smoke for anytime.
