HARMONIOUS.
WOOD, EARTH, AND
COFFEE BEANS.
The Ramon Allones Gigantes is one
of the few Prominentes (or Double
Coronas) sizes still in production
in Cuba. Over time, it continues to
maintain a reliable production consistency,
offering a very representative
smoke of the brand.
A well-balanced cigar from the first
to the last puff. Elegant, creamy, and
harmonious. Undoubtedly, the best
Ramon Allones available.
The start is characterized by nuts
and precious wood aromas, with
hints of leather. The flavor profile
focuses on spicy tones but also on
toasted hints of hazelnut and sometimes
cocoa.
SWEET AND CREAMY.
GREEN PEPPER, COFFEE
AND VEGETAL NOTES.
The Wide Churchills was Introduced
in 2010, and it has never lost
its luster. It was the first Cuban
cigar produced in the "Montesco
size," a cigar boasting a generous
ring gauge compared to the Cuban
production of years prior.
Its sweetness and creaminess are
remarkable, and the smoke is intense
and balanced. The evolution
is quite perceivable.
The sweetness appears from the
first puffs, together with vegetal,
citrus, and wood notes. Then, coffee
and spices emerge. The finish
is dominated by toasted, earthy,
and green pepper aromas.
