Storage Instructions

For the RAMON ALLONES SPEC. SELEC.(25) keep your cigars in a stable, well-maintained humidor. Aim for 65 to 70% relative humidity and a temperature near 68 to 70ºF (20 to 21ºC). A humidor lined with Spanish cedar will help maintain even humidity and add a subtle, complementary aroma. Avoid wide swings in temperature or humidity and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. If you do not have a full-sized humidor a quality travel humidor or an airtight container with two-way humidity packs set to 65 to 70% can protect the cigars during short-term storage.

Care Tips

RAMON ALLONES SPEC. SELEC.(25) is a Cuban-style, full-bodied blend with a naturally oily wrapper. That wrapper benefits from slightly higher humidity within the recommended range to remain supple and resist cracking. Handle each stick gently by the band or the centre to avoid damaging the leaf. Do not squeeze or roll cigars between your fingers. When you bring new cigars home let them acclimatise in your humidor for at least one to two weeks after shipping. For those who enjoy cellar ageing the cigar will develop greater complexity over time. Many enthusiasts see meaningful improvement after six months and continued refinement between one and three years. To prepare a cigar for smoking cut with a sharp cutter and toast the foot evenly before drawing. Store boxes flat or upright consistently and rotate cigars inside the humidor periodically to ensure even humidity exposure. Watch for white crystalline bloom which indicates well-aged oils. If you see fuzzy mould or discoloured spots isolate the affected cigars and clean the humidor as needed. With attentive storage and gentle handling the RAMON ALLONES SPEC. SELEC.(25) will reward you with consistent construction and rich flavour.

Tasting Notes

The RAMON ALLONES SPEC. SELEC.(25) presents a commanding, full-bodied profile that opens with bold notes of espresso and rich dark cacao, quickly followed by a backbone of cedar and aged leather. Mid-palate development reveals a peppery spice—black pepper and clove—balanced by earthy undertones and a faint roasted almond sweetness. The finish is long and savoury, with lingering molasses and a delicate tobacco floral aroma that lifts the smoke. Aromas on the retrohale echo toasted wood and subtle sweet spice, making each draw complex and deeply satisfying.

Pairing Suggestions

Aged rum (gold or dark): the molasses and caramel notes of an añejo rum harmonise with the cigar’s cocoa and roasted-sugar accents while accentuating its spice. Espresso or a bold single-origin dark roast: the coffee’s bitterness and crema mirror the cigar’s espresso and cocoa character, cutting through the full body for balanced juxtaposition. 70%+ dark chocolate or an aged tawny port: the concentrated cocoa or the port’s dried-fruit sweetness complements the cigar’s leather and cedar, creating a luxurious, layered finish.
