Review #10:  I just opened a box of these for 2002. I don't use chocolate, leather and all of that language. A cigar is either pleasing or not. This a VERY fine smoke. - Submitted by naturiz on January 9, 2005
Review #9: I have some from 2002...I could not believe how beautiful a smoke this is.Extremely well balanced,medium bodied,but very complex.One of the best smokes I've come across recently,so much so that I bought out the vendor of the remaining boxes.Get 'em while you can! - Submitted by Mikey on August 4, 2004

Review #7: Are we all talking about the same vitola? I have a few boxes of the RA
8-9-8 from 2000. I've yet to run across a badly constructed or plugged stick. Very even and moderately generous draw, although not coupled with rapid combustion. Thus, you will not get a huge mouthful of smoke, but you should get steady and nicely modulated draw and combustion. If you take the trio of similar cigars -- Partagas 8-9-8, LGC Medaille d'Or No. 2, and the RA 8-9-8, you cover a lot of ground in terms of style and flavor profile. Partagas is at the robust, rustic, earthy, power chord end of the spectrum. It delivers 'gout de terroir' with a wallop. The LGC occupies a middle ground -- much like the Partagas in some ways, but without the rough edges and with far less amplitude. The RA is at the opposite end of the playing field from the Partagas. This cigar is refinement itself, extremely floral, with very bright 'treble' notes of candied ginger, white chocolate, toasted hazelnut, balsam, perhaps a touch of vanilla... you get the picture. "Earthy" is not a word I would use here. "Fruity" is more like it, and I mean that in the same very positive sense that a very good white burgundy is fruity: intense, complex, brisk, fresh, clean, dry -- yet lush and opulent. Did I mention I really like this cigar? But it is not easy to find, and may be marked for deletion from the Habanos SA list. A very sad notion, so stock up. These will definitely keep for a decade or more in their varnished cabinets if you have good storage for them. - Submitted by chambolle on May 10, 2004
Review #6: Yes I agree with Mike they are very good cigars with an earthy flavour when they burn. A score of 8 would be appropriate. However, the box I bought simply has to many plugged and over packed cigars. This is a problem the cubans are aware of and are working on. It is not fair to the consumer if half of the cigars they purchase are basically unsmokable. This is why I score them a 4. Possibly I just got a bad box from a minor factory some where in Cuba but they where purchased at a Habanos store in Trinidad. - Submitted by Jim on February 20, 2004
