Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez Robusto Cigars
Ramon Allones Robusto by AJ Fernandez represents what many consider to be AJ’s crowning achievement—a revival of a historic Cuban heritage brand that once seemed destined for obscurity. The name Ramon Allones carries enormous sentimental weight for AJ, as it was one of his father’s favorite cigars during his upbringing in Cuba. Decades later, the brand had nearly faded away—until 2017, when AJ Fernandez took full control of production, distribution, and marketing, breathing new life into this venerable label. If anyone could restore Ramon Allones to its former glory, AJ was the man to do it, and the results speak for themselves: three separate 92 ratings from Cigar Aficionado.
Handmade in Nicaragua, the blend is nothing short of exceptional. The filler and binder are composed entirely of select aged Nicaraguan tobaccos, sourced from some of the country’s most nutrient-rich growing regions. Topping it off is a dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, meticulously aged and hand-selected for richness, texture, and flawless appearance. This combination delivers one of the boldest, most luxurious profiles ever produced by AJ Fernandez.
The craftsmanship of the cigars is immediately evident. The chocolate-toned wrapper, seamless construction, and firm, uniform pack all signal elite quality. Presentation is equally stunning, with bands inspired by classic Cuban artwork and ornate cedar boxes that feel like heirloom keepsakes. AJ’s uncompromising standards show through every step: effortless draw, razor-sharp burn, and thick, aromatic clouds of smoke.
From the first spark, the Robusto delivers an intense wave of white pepper and cedar, followed by developing notes of dark chocolate, earthy tobacco, and a subtle lingering sweetness. The finish is weighty and long, the retrohale bold and invigorating. This cigar sits firmly at the peak of full-bodied, full-flavored performance—a true powerhouse, yet remarkably balanced. No harshness. No bitterness. Just wave after wave of complex, dense flavor.
It’s no surprise that critics and aficionados alike have praised the blend. Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez fills a void in the modern cigar world—an ultra-premium, deeply rich, authentically Cuban-inspired cigar crafted specifically for seasoned smokers. This is not an entry-level smoke; it’s a creation intended for those who appreciate depth, strength, and meticulous blending at the highest level.
The 5 ½" x 50 Robusto is the perfect introduction to the line, delivering a concentrated experience of the blend's full range of flavors. It pairs beautifully with single malt scotch, tawny port, bold craft beers, or strong black coffee—and like any full-bodied cigar, it’s best enjoyed on a full stomach. Fans of Arturo Fuente Opus X, Ashton VSG, and Padron 1926 will find a familiar level of intensity and sophistication here.
With Ramon Allones, AJ Fernandez hasn’t just revived a forgotten name—he has redefined it. The result is one of the most exciting, aggressively flavorful cigars of the modern era. For true connoisseurs, Ramon Allones Robusto by AJ Fernandez isn’t merely recommended—it’s essential.
