Behind every anticipated release lies a rich history; the 2011 Ramón Allones Allones Extra Edición Limitada resurrects a classic vitola absent from regular production since the 1970s. This special release allowed modern cigar enthusiasts to experience a historic size that had largely faded from memory, now crafted with the enhanced quality standards that define Cuba's Limited Edition program.
Historical Significance
