Why 50-Count Matters

1. Aging Magic: The mass quantity creates a self-regulating humidor environment

2. Wrapper Quality: Only the most elastic leaves survive cabinet packing

3. Rarity: Comprises just 5% of total RASS production

Smoking Ritual:
For special occasions, select cigars from:
• Box center for maximum complexity
• Sides for brighter flavors
• Corners for the tightest construction

Historical Context

These cabinets continue the 19th-century tradition of shipping cigars in bulk cedar boxes, with modern production specifically reserved for top retailers. The 2023 release marked a return to traditional box-pressing, absent since 2015.

Note: The only Cuban robusto still offered in 50-count alongside Montecristo No.2—a true aristocrat’s selection.
