There actually was a Ramon Allones, who developed this lighter-bodied Cuban cigar brand way back in 1837. Originally from Spain, Allones was reportedly the first to use bright, lithographed labels on his boxes, to help set his brand apart.

Ramón Allones is one of the big names in the history of Habanos. Founded in 1837, it is also one of the oldest brands in production.

A Galician by birth Ramón Allones was the first cigar manufacturer to pack his cigars in boxes decoreted with labels and stamped with his brand´s emblem.

He was the pioneer of the packaging we know today. 

All the cigars are filled with a blend of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, characterised by their intense and complex taste.

The range includes "tripa larga, totalmente a mano"-long filler, totally hand made cigars such as the famous Gigantes and Specially Selected.

Cuban Cigar Review

Ramon Allones Allones Extra LE

Limited Edition 2011   5 3/5 x 44 gorda

reviewed by Cameron M

Ramon Allones LE 2011- Ramon Allone is one of my preferred choices for Cuban cigars.

I had paired this cigar with a Glenlivet 15 year old single malt scotch. I was waiting with bated breath to try this LE for 2011. This actually was the second one I smoked.

The cigar didn't have the usual flavors of your regular releases from Ramon Allone.

I had notes of espresso with dark chocolate, and found this to be a medium strength cigar.

Unfortunately this LE fell well short of my expectations. The cigar never really came alive and was very single dimensioned and plain for a coveted Limited Edition Cuban.

It will need time for aging and improvement.

My overall rating is 88/100
