Not the best known of the Havana
cigar brands, but Ramon Allones Cuban cigars are among
the most respected by cigar aficionados. The second oldest brand in production
in Cuba, these superior, full-bodied, mainly handmade cigars was founded by
the Spaniard Ramón Allones, in 1837.
Ramón Allones was the first cigar manufacturer to use attractive, lithographed
labels on his cigar boxes. The coat of arms of the Spanish royal family was
used to help his brand stand out.
Some characteristics of Ramon Allones Cuban cigars include
dark exquisite wrappers, quality construction, deep rich flavors and an engaging
aroma. For these reasons, Ramón Allones cigars make for an ideal after-dinner
smoke.
There are a few machine-made examples of Ramon Allones Cuban cigars
also available.
