About the Ramon Allones Coronas
Ramon Allones stands among the oldest Cuban marcas, established in Havana back in 1837 and long celebrated for its bold, robust character. The brand earned a place in history as a pioneer of the 8-9-8 box packing and remains synonymous with depth and intensity, much of its output rolled at the venerable Partagas factory. The Coronas carries that legacy in a timeless format, a classic Corona vitola measuring 5.6 inches (142mm) by a 42 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25 and smaller packs of 5. It is the kind of stick that rewards smokers who appreciate tradition and a generous flow of flavour.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third settles in with a sturdy core of cedar and earthy tobacco, accented by a peppery spice that signals the full body to come. Through the middle, the smoke deepens into notes of leather and wood, with hints of roasted nuts and a whisper of chocolate adding richness on the palate. The final third gains weight and concentration, where dark coffee tones and lingering spice round out a powerful yet balanced finish that never tips into harshness.
Pairings
- A well-aged Cuban rum, whose molasses sweetness softens the cigar’s peppery edge.
- A strong dark-roast espresso that echoes the coffee notes in the final third.
- A peated single malt Scotch, its smoky depth standing up to the full body without overwhelming it.
Aging and storage
Like most full-bodied Habanos, the Coronas responds beautifully to patient cellaring. Kept at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, the youthful pepper mellows over the months while the cedar and leather notes knit together into a smoother, more harmonious whole. A seasoned humidor and a reliable hygrometer are the only tools you really need to let these develop at their own pace.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the smoker who likes a full, flavour-forward experience in a manageable size. The Corona format delivers roughly half an hour of rich smoking time, making it well suited to a morning pairing with coffee or an after-dinner moment when you want intensity without committing to a larger vitola. Newcomers to Cuban tobacco may find it assertive, but seasoned aficionados who lean toward the bolder marcas will feel right at home.
