The Ramón Allones Specially Selected is one of the most appreciated Robustos of Cuban production, as well as one of the most famous exponents of the brand. The cigar has been in production since the late seventies. Previously, in the brand’s catalog there was a cigar with the same name but with a different size (it was 48 x 130mm).
Currently this cigar can be purchased in 25-count Dress boxes as well as in a 50-count Slide Lid boxes.
It is dressed in a bright Colorado wrapper with brown reflections. It is pretty smooth, with only some tiny veins present to the touch. Construction and filling are excellent.

Ramón Allones Specially Selected: vibrant aromas of nuts are perceived in the cold draw, followed by less marked notes of wood and a hint of goudron.
It expresses rich earth notes, nuts, and black pepper, enriched by a nuance reminiscent of coffee. Strength is medium (3/5).
The flavor profile changes in the second third, bringing a strong note of leather and a less marked minerality. The earthy aroma of the initial section loses its intensity slightly, and the strength becomes medium-high (4/5).
The last third leaves the profile unchanged and, alongside the minerality and earth of the central section, adds a note of wood. Strength remains constant (4/5).
Ultimately, this Ramón Allones Specially Selected returns a noteworthy smoke, entirely consistent with the brand. The aromas are rich, with a very palpable evolution for the format. The relationship between strength and flavors is also excellent. A perfect cigar that unfortunately suffers from production consistency.
