Construction and Aging
Each cigar is entirely handmade using premium Cuban tobacco. What sets this release apart is the additional aging process — the cigars were rolled in 2012, then delivered to Hunters & Frankau in June 2013, where they spent two years maturing in the company's warehouse before reaching the market in mid-2015. This extended aging period allowed the flavors to marry and develop greater complexity.
Bands and Presentation
The cigars feature the standard Ramón Allones band D, accompanied by a special commemorative band honoring the Hunters & Frankau 225th anniversary. This dual-band presentation distinguishes the release as a genuine Regional Edition.
Collectors could acquire this release in two formats:
- Numbered humidors containing four slide-lid boxes of 25 cigars each (total production: 225 humidors)
- Individual numbered slide-lid boxes containing 25 cigars (total production: 1,100 boxes)
Release Information
Officially released in 2015, the Hunters & Frankau Aniversario 225 represents a collaboration between the historic Ramón Allones marca and Britain's premier cigar distributor. The careful attention to aging and the limited production numbers make this a sought-after addition to any serious cigar collection.
