One of the most distinguished additions to the Ramón Allones portfolio, the Allones Superiores was created exclusively for the La Casa del Habano retail network. Released in 2010, this cigar was initially conceived as a limited edition with a planned production run of just 5,000 boxes. However, demand and reception proved strong enough that Habanos S.A. opted to continue limited production beyond the original announcement, making it available to discerning smokers on an ongoing basis.
