The Ramón Allones Specially Selected Robusto Corto is a regional edition cigar originally released in 2013 for the Netherlands market. It features a Petit Robusto size, measuring 4 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge. The cigar is known for its high-quality construction, using tobacco from Cuba's famed Vuelta Abajo region.
Two releases of Ramon with almost the same size in 2013, this one and the other for Andorra (please read my review), I like this one better
Beautiful cigar with milk chocolate wrap and walnut taste, and great aroma
Good ash and construction, well balanced and you can feel the harmony between the leafs
Good for one hour
RA is known as full body cigar, this one is not, it is medium
A pocket rocket! This tiny petit robusto is packed with flavour, the typical Ramon Allones nuttiness, accentuated with a strong spice and dry fruitiness. Huge smoke output, great burn and draw. These were released in 2013 so the added age has done wonders for smoothing everything out nicely.
