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 Specially Selected

robusto 4 7/8 x 50

reviewed by Cameron M.

The wrapper was light in colour, perhaps a 2/6.
I enjoyed this as an after dinner cigar, accompanied by few fingers of a 15 year old Glenlivet Whisky. 
Subtle notes of tea were accompanied by a mixture of walnuts and dried fruits, making this a well balanced cigar.

I consider this a medium strength cigar with a strength of 6/10.

My overall rating is 92/100.

This was a very enjoyable cigar and should be considered for smoking in the afternoon or evenings after lighter meals.
