The Ramon Allones Gigantes is the largest cigar among those offered by the Ramon Allones brand, which for several years now has seen only four production formats available (the Allones Superiores is not anymore a limited production cigar). Despite being the undisputed King of the brand, it is also the least popular size.
The cigars are dressed in a Colorado shaded wrapper, that is smooth to the touch. Filling is generous and the cigars are slightly box-pressed.

Ramon Allones Gigantes: unlit, hints of earth. The opening reveals vegetal notes.
The first third brings vegetal and herbal notes to the palate, with an earthy background. There is also a gentle pepperiness, mainly black pepper, in the aftertaste. The vegetal component is the undisputed protagonist, with balsamic nuances. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the central section, it turns to earth and nuts, where the hazelnut stands out. There is also a seasoned wood note present in the background. Strength remains constant (3/5).
In the final third, balsamic herbs and vegetal aromas return to the foreground. Earth remains in the background. Strength increases slightly (3.5/5).
Overall, the Ramon Allones Gigantes releases a satisfying smoke, which well represents this Cuban brand. Evolution is perceptible, especially between the first and the second third. The intensity is good and the flavor profile is fairly broad.
