About the Ramon Allones Belicosos
Ramon Allones is one of the oldest names in Cuban tobacco, founded in 1845 by brothers Ramon and Antonio Allones and produced today at the storied Partagas factory in Havana. The marca built its reputation on robust, deeply flavored blends, and the Belicosos carries that legacy in a handsome torpedo shape. Released as a UK regional edition by Hunters and Frankau in 2005, this 5.5″ x 52 pyramid (the Campanas vitola) gives the brand’s full-bodied character a tapered head and a generous foot, rewarding smokers who appreciate the classic Ramon Allones power.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third arrives with cedar, earth, and a backbone of baking spice, set against a notable caramel sweetness that defines much of the experience. Through the middle, milk chocolate and light coffee come forward while cinnamon and a touch of cream round out the body, with white pepper lingering on the retrohale. As the cigar settles into its final third, the leather and roasted notes deepen and the spice gathers, keeping the smoke rich and engaging right down toward the band.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, whose molasses sweetness echoes the cigar’s caramel undertones.
- A bold single malt or a lightly peated whisky to meet the earthy, spiced core.
- A strong espresso or dark roast coffee that mirrors the chocolate and coffee notes.
Aging and storage
Like most full-bodied Habanos, the Belicosos can mellow and gain complexity with patient cellaring. Keep it in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady 64 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The thick 52 ring gauge and tapered head respond well to time, allowing the spice to integrate and the sweeter notes to come into sharper focus over months and years.
Who it is for
This cigar suits the experienced smoker who enjoys a powerful, traditional Cuban profile and the slow burning pleasure of a figurado. The pyramid shape concentrates the smoke at the start and broadens as it opens, so it rewards an unhurried session with time to spare. Newcomers to full strength tobacco may find it intense, but for collectors and seasoned aficionados it is a characterful pick from a historic marca.

Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Cuban Cigar Ramon Allones Belicosos delivered on flavor (honey and tobacco) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
