Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Ramon Bueso Genesis Toro 50x6
Paired with Maker's 46 cut with one cube
Wait time: 2 weeks

The reviews of this thing had me sold from day one. Saw the clip on Cigars International of everyone trying it at Cigar Fest and nearly everyone rated it 8-10 out of 10 and almost passed out when they were told the price. So I snagged a 5-er. Since I bought them CI is backordered on all sizes in box purcheses. So It was really hard to let them sit in the humidor. But today, I unleashed the first one .

This thing is absolutely gorgeous. A dark, oily wrapper. Solid leafe. Not any imperfections that I could really pick out. Felt good in the hand. Just beautiful. The band completes the package. She's a looker. Pre-light aroma was dark tobacco, with a maybe a hint of cocoa in there.

Upon lighting the first thing that hit me was a sweet spice. Not overpowering, but it grabbed my attention. Then...gobs and gobs of expresso. Oh my god I wanted to drink this thing. It was so good. About the 1/2 inch march the spice dies a bit but is still there and the expresso takes the predominant flavor profile, with dark tobacco present

Entering the 2nd 3rd, leather makes its appearance. It starts off light and noticable and as you work your way halfway into the cigar it becomes predominant. Expresso is still there. The aroma is wonderful. A pleasant mix I like to call "maduro smell." Dark tobacco/expresso/cocoa all in there.

Approaching the final third, a sweet spice comes back, different than the one at initial light. Almost licorisce like. Dark chocolate starts to make an appearance as we near the band.

Last third on leather is back as the predominant profile all the way to the end with some hints of licorisce and dark chocolate

This is a really, really, really great cigar on it's own. Medium to upper medium bodied. Doesn't quite get full bodied to me but gets close. It looks great, smells great, tastes great, smokes great. Zero burn issues. Total smoking time was about and hour and a half. For $60-70 a box that they are going for, it no shock they are backordered. Do yourself a favor and get a 5 er and sample. Box worthy? Does a bear sh** in the woods?

Awesome review and pics INT, I need to try and get my hands on one of these....they sounds great.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I grabbed a test flight sampler from cigar.com 8 sticks for $30 2 of each size :tu

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I'll have to get ahold of a few. I wish they came in Corona size. I've been on a corona kick lately.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Nice review. Really liked the one i smoked as well.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Very curious to see what a few months does to them. My next purchase will have a few going for a nice sleep

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

These sound awesome, I'll definitely have to pick a few up. Thanks for the review.:tu

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Was able to finally try one of these today...the 6X60...not a fan of this size, but the flavors were good. Excited to try this in a smaller vitola.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I just nabbed a 5 pack on free fall at the devil site. Can't wait to try!

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Its stronger in the robusto. Don't think i'll be buying any other
size either.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Nice review of a wonderful cigar.
I look forward to more reviews by you, Frank.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Thanks for the great review and photo's on the Toro size Frank:tu When funds become available once again, will be purchasing the robusto'.

Let's just hope the consistancy and QC will maintain on this brand...

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

great review of something I had not heard of.

poor show from the maker though for lack of originality on the artwork.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I got a fiver of the torpedo's from CI with a herf-a-dor special. Can't wait to try.. waiting a few more weeks till I get a couple hours to sit back and really relax, probably during a wolverines game.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Anxious to try these. Sound like they would be something I'd enjoy. Thanks for the review!

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Thanks gentlemen and I'm gla you enjoyed it. Hopefully the cigar is equally as good for you guys.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Great review and thanks for posting. I was very curious about this cigar but held off buying until I saw some posts. Now I'll add this cigar to my list of cigars to pick up!

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Just ordered a sampler of these from cigar.com. Anxious to try them.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I need to buy a box

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

They've gone up 10 bucks a box. 5er of toros ran me 26 and are now 28. Knew they'd go up. Very good cigar

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I am a fan of these too. One of my go-to since I tried them. Have smoked the Muy Bueso, the Robusto and the Torpedo. The Torpedo was my favorite. I picked up a box and have about 10 left. Still have some of the Robusto's as well but they just don't have the same flavor profile for some reason. Overall, great smoke for a great price.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I've smoked one of the robustos. I found the flavor profile to be very similar to the No9 with the No9 just being a bit smoother. Need to pick up some more of these but have my eye on some other stuff at the moment.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I have a few that have been resting for a few months. Need to light one up.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Love these...probably the most oily wrappers I have come across. The marketing made me hesitant, but you can't pass 'em up for the price.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I got to smoke one of these with Elderboy02 and I think they are better than any Liga out there. They have a bunch of flavor and oily as hell. Price cannot be beat. Ordered mine straight away.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

They sure are delicious! :dr

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

to be clear, I smoked and ordered the robusto.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I had the robusto size and would definitely say these are worth the money. It started off to me as a full bodied cigar, and then mellowed down a bit, but very tasty. Loved it. Would have nubbed it had my car ride not ended with it being below zero when I got home.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I'd be interested to try these out if I could get my hands on them. Atlantic doesn't carry them and CI won't ship to Canada.

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

What about cigar.com?

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

I'll have to check them out thanks for the tip!

Re: Ramon Bueso Genesis Review
 

Not 100% sure on the rules as to posting links to sites but "The Devils Site" has 6 pack sampler and wood ashtray going for $19 with two days left:

6 - Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Robusto Extra (5.5" x 50)
1 - Genesis The Project Wooden Ashtray

An 8 pack sampler ending in about an hour at $27 :

Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Intro Sampler includes:
2 - Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Robusto (5" x 50)
2 - Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Toro (6" x 50)
2 - Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Torpedo (6" x 52)
2 - Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso Muy Bueso (6.5" x 60)

A second the same as above ending an hour short of 2 days at $22.

Lastly, a 20 count box of Torpedos at roughly $3.50 a stick i.e. $70 ending in an hour.

So they are out there, hope this helps.
