Ramón Allones King of North Edición Regional Nordico-Baltico
The King of North stands as a distinguished addition to Ramón Allones' Edición Regional portfolio, crafted exclusively for cigar enthusiasts across the Northern and Baltic nations. This regional release showcases the brand's commitment to delivering bold, full-flavored Habanos to discerning palates in Scandinavia and the Baltic region.
Background and Release
Designated as a 2020 release, the King of North eventually reached retailers in late 2021.

Total production was capped at 6,000 units, making this a genuinely scarce release for collectors and enthusiasts seeking something beyond the standard portfolio.
