History
A brand that can do no wrong, Ramon Allones is a historic Cuban cigar brand known for its rich heritage among cigar smokers. The production of these classic Cuban cigars began in 1837 by Ramon Allones himself, making it one of the oldest brands in the industry. Allones gained recognition for his pioneering approach to cigar packaging and marketing, introducing the use of decorative cigar boxes, an early adopter of using colored lithographs and labels to distinguish its products.
In the late 19th century, the brand was acquired by the legendary Cifuentes family, who significantly contributed to its growth and reputation. It was the Cifuentes who would introduce iconic cigar lines such as the Gigantes and Specially Selected, still celebrated today.
However, during the Cuban Revolution, the Cifuentes family lost control of the brand, leading to a troubled history behind the scenes. Ownership of Ramon Allones, as well as many other brands, shifted ownership to the Cuban government. However, Ramon Allones cigars continue to be highly sought after for their unique blend and flavor profile.
While the popularity of Ramon Allones may have dropped off after the revolution, the brand remains an enduring symbol of Cuban craftsmanship and dedication to the art of cigar-making. Its portfolio of cigars is still celebrated for its full flavor and complexity, embodying the essence of Cuban tobacco. Ramon Allones is a pinnacle in Cuba’s cigar-making history, with an enduring tradition of quality and craftsmanship unlike any other. These premium cigars remain a favorite choice for cigar connoisseurs looking for a spicy, yet sweet, taste of Cuba's cigar heritage.
