Ramon Allones Gigantes

HISTORY

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

A Galician by birth, Ramón Allones was the first cigar manufacturer to pack his cigars in boxes decorated with labels and stamped with his brand’s emblem. He was the pioneer of the packaging tradition that we know today.

Hunters & Frankau owned the Ramón Allones factory in Havana and the worldwide rights between 1911 and 1927. Perhaps one of the reasons it has long been a much-loved brand in the UK.

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

The whole range is composed of ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade cigars.

An exceptional Double Corona with all the depth of flavour that Ramón Allones always promises. Its full potential is revealed steadily during the one and a half hours or more it takes to smoke.

TASTING NOTES

This lengthy, full-bodied cigar provides notes of sweet mocha, gingerbread spice, and some earthiness, building in intensity to a bold, leathery finish.

The depth and transition of flavours pair wonderfully well with a Vintage Port or a dark, aged Jamaican Rum.
