My my, what a Cuban. This is a strong cigar. It’s deceiving to begin with, starts off very mild in the first 3rd but then in the second seriously kicks it up a gear! I’m no connoisseur but I’ve sampled a fair amount of Cubans in the corona vitola but this was my first Cuban robusto, and the size definitely delivers a smoother, more flavoursome smoke. A rich, peppery cigar with hints of ginger, coffee and nuts. Flawless burn and excellent construction. Not a midday smoke, is all I’d say. Enjoy it after a meal, as I did.

I have been smoking this cigar for 20 years. I have never had such a poor box before. Impossible to cut cleanly even from a humidor with sharp scissors. Variable build - some tight some loose. Rather hot tasting with little of the depth and richness I associste with this cigar. Go for the Partagas D instead.

What can be said that hasn't already been said about this cigar? A truly bold smoke that is flawlessly constructed, making it a bonafide classic in my opinion.

Fantastic Cigar! Thick voluptuous creamy smoke which coats the entirety of your mouth and is an absolute pleasure is placed alongside tastes of coffee and nuts. The formation of the stick is almost perfect with only a slight hitch in the burn but as the stick progresses this evens out. Around an hours smoke (if you can keep it out of your mouth long enough). If you are thinking of buying this cigar then do...but not them all as it's one which i will be purchasing again! 9.5/10

I'm a newcomer when it comes to cigars but even I could not help but notice the exquisiteness of this cigar. It burned really well and is a much slower cigar compared to others I've tried; you can easily go a few minutes between draws. Being an amateur I didn't light the cigar well but despite that by rotating whilst drawing the burn evened out! Definitely spicy taste and would recommend it for beginners. Don't forget it's also Cigar Aficionado's No.2 rated smoke of 2015!

Having tried R&J Montecristo and Cohiba (and thoroughly enjoying) I decided to try another Cuban brand. Having read the excellent reviews, I selected the Ramon Allones. What a disappointment. The burn was the worst I have ever known, and I've smoked some really cheap cigars too. Right from the off only one side seemingly wanted to burn. All of the initial experience was ruined by trying to make the adjustments to get a better burn. The flavour was none existent, just a bitter thick smoke more akin to being involved with a serious fire! After around 20 mins I decided to just give up. Maybe I just got unlucky this time, who knows, but I think I'll be giving this brand a miss in future.
