A personal favorite with a handful of us here at JR is next on our Cigar of the Month list for May 2023. The Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez is a Medium to Full-Bodied cigar that is a treat for your palate every time you light it up to smoke. All cigars are special to a seasoned cigar smoker. However, this line from AJ Fernandez means a little more for him.

The original Ramon Allones was AJ’s Fathers favorite cigar brand back when they lived in Cuba. So AJ wanted to pay tribute to his father by utilizing tobacco from the original aread where the original Ramon Allones was grown in Nicaragua. AJ didn’t stop there. He had to make sure the packaging and bands on this line paid homage to the cigar his father fell in love with all those years ago.

The 6 x 52 Toro included in this month’s Cigar of the Month package is cloaked in a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, while Nicaraguan Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 tobaccos make up the binder and the filler.

Some flavor notes you’ll detect while smoking this award winning cigar are cedar, earth, cashews, espresso, and black pepper. Besides the Toro featured in this package, the Ramon Allones is available in three other sizes that come in a box of 20. Enjoy this classic cigar from AJ today!
