About the Ramon Allones Superiores Casa del Habano
Released in 2010 as an exclusive for the La Casa del Habano franchise network, the Ramon Allones Superiores Casa del Habano carries forward one of the oldest and most respected names in Havana. The brand has long been prized for its powerful, concentrated blends built on Pinar del Rio tobacco, and this Coronas Gordas format channels that heritage into a manageable, everyday vitola. Production is limited to roughly 5,000 boxes of ten each year, which keeps it firmly in the realm of a collector favorite rather than a shelf staple. Measuring 5.6 inches with a 46 ring gauge, it offers around an hour of smoking time without demanding a full afternoon.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans into warm, inviting notes of cedar, roasted nuts, and a soft cocoa sweetness, with smoke that feels creamy and rounded. As you move into the second third the cigar gains depth, layering burnt caramel, a touch of cinnamon, and a backbone of leather over that classic Cuban nuttiness. The final third tightens up nicely, with the spice intensifying and the wood turning drier, closing on black coffee, earth, and an elegant, well mannered bitterness. Overall it sits in medium to full territory, building gradually rather than overwhelming.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum to echo the caramel and dried fruit tones in the second third.
- A dark, full roast espresso that mirrors the coffee notes through the finish.
- A lightly peated single malt whisky for those who enjoy a smoky counterpoint.
Aging and storage
Like most concentrated Ramon Allones blends, the Superiores rewards patience. Kept at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit in a well seasoned humidor, the cigar settles and marries its flavors beautifully over a few years. Younger sticks already smoke well, but additional rest tends to soften the spice and bring the sweeter, creamier notes forward. Storing the box undisturbed and rotating cigars occasionally helps keep the construction and draw consistent.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the enthusiast who appreciates traditional Cuban flavor without committing to a two hour, large ring gauge monster. Smokers who enjoy the Ramon Allones house style, or who collect La Casa del Habano exclusives, will find it especially appealing. Newcomers stepping up from milder blends can enjoy it too, provided they smoke it slowly and ideally after a meal.
