Ramon Allones Hunters & Frankau Aniversario 225 Cigar & Commemorative Humidor

Date Added: Tuesday 08 January, 2019 by James

Smoked - 08/01/2019. I am a huge fan of Ramon Allones, so this may be a slightly bias review but that being said this is a fantastic smoke. Full of deep, complex flavours and spicy, leathery notes. I enjoyed it immensely. Fortunately I purchased a few of these sticks when they were slightly cheaper than the £80 price tag they are currently commanding. It was a wonderful 90 minute smoke, that I will take great pleasure in repeating. Paired with a strong Nespresso doppio espresso and a few drams of the Dalmore 12 y/o, absolute bliss...

Sad to think that many of these cigars may never be smoked,at least not by the initial purchasers.I imagine that they have now slipped away out of sight in to the depths of collector's humidors for a long sleep like some kind of tobacco caterpillar,if one may imagine such a thing..........the next time you see them they will have become very,VERY expensive butterflies!! :D

I have smoked plenty of these now, and while they are tied very well and are getting better each time I smoke them, they are several years away from being 'the real thing' Good ? yes, great ? not yet and the jury is still very much out.

Honestly....a bit underwhelming. I love Ramon Allones but this does nothing for me. It's a nice cigar and the flavours to me are mild and quite non-descript. I picked up on some smooth creaminess but really found it difficult to describe anything else. This cigar has been aged for some time in Cuba and the UK and perhaps it needs more time. Good things come to those who wait. Is there potential here? I'm not willing to take the risk at these prices.

We’ve been waiting for the release of the Ramon Allones H&F Aniversario 225 cigar for quite some time but now, the wait is finally over. As soon as these arrived into our humidor I had to light one up, the look and presentation of them is just stunning! These are a medium bodied cigar with an incredibly smooth, creamy smoke and at first, the flavours are very typical of Ramon. The draw is slightly on the tighter side for the first half of the cigar but the burn remains constant and even. The second half of this cigar is what it’s all about, the draw loosens up slightly and the smoke doubles in thickness. The flavours intensify, rich and creamy but still medium in strength with no harshness and next to no bitterness. This cigar starts off as a delightful cigar and turns into a superb one! I think they could benefit a lot from another year or so in the humidor as we found with the Ramon Petit Belicosos RE 2012 (which are still available and highly recommended here: https://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/ramon-allones-petit-belicosos-regional-edition-2012-single-p-12597.html). So my advice, grab yourself a box for now and a box for later, you will not regret it! These are limited to just 2000 boxes so you better be quick though.
