Ramón Allones Specially Selected
This robusto boasts a smooth maduro colorado wrapper, firm and promising. The cold draw reveals rich wood, earth, and distant cocoa notes.
After lighting:
The first third opens intensely with spices and fresh wood, soon joined by leather notes. Perfect burn and draw.
The second third thickens with smoke and introduces dark cocoa flavors—black and bitter chocolate—as strength rises.
The final third focuses on bitter cocoa and wood, robust yet not harsh. The cigar warms slightly toward the end.
Conclusion from the enthusiast:
Though once richer, the Specially Selected remains a dependable Cuban classic. Current stocks would benefit from some aging to reveal their full complexity and reach the top tier.
