RAMON ALLONES
Ramon Allones is one of the big names in the history of Habanos. Founded in 1837, it is one of the oldest brands still in production.
A Galician by birth Ramon Allones was the first cigar manufacturer to pack his Habanos in boxes decorated with labels and stamped with his brand's emblem. He was the pioneer of the packaging tradition that we know today.
All the sizes are filled with a blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone, characterised by their intense and complex taste. Amongst the best known sizes are the Gigantes and the Specially Selected.
The whole range is composed of ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade cigars.
PRIVATE STOCK 230 UK REGIONAL EDITION
The Ramon Allones Private Stock 230 is the 2020 UK Regional Edition and was commissioned to commemorate Hunters & Frankau's 230 year anniversary.
It is a rare size, known as a Partagás 16 in the factories of Cuba, and measures 6 ¾” (170mm) x 50. All 90,000 cigars have been rolled at the Partagas factory in Havana and are presented in 3,600 numbered boxes of 25.
Private Stock was the name of a cigar which previously existed in the Ramon Allones portfolio. Although production was discontinued in the 1970’s, the archives show that this cigar continued to be available in the UK until 1981.
The black and white band of the Private Stock 230 is a recreation of those used by Ramon Allones during the height of the Private Stock’s popularity. However, this celebratory cigar also bears the size name on it, making it unique.
The Private Stock 230 was seen for the first time, before general release, as part of the Hunters & Frankau House Reserve Series 1790 Collection No.2.
