Packaging and Presentation
La Palmera arrives in numbered varnished boîte nature boxes, each containing 10 cigars. The total production run reached 7,500 cigars, making this a genuinely limited release for collectors and enthusiasts.
Band Design
This release marks a notable shift in Habanos' approach to UAE Regional Editions. La Palmera debuted a fresh regional band design featuring the text "Emiratos Arabes," replacing the previous "E.A.U." designation used on earlier United Arab Emirates releases. The cigar carries the large band D configuration alongside its Regional Edition band, creating a distinctive visual identity.
Release Timeline
Though officially designated as a 2016 release, the Ramón Allones La Palmera reached the market in early 2018. This timing is not uncommon for Regional Editions, which often see delays between their announced vintage year and actual availability.
The Sublimes Vitola
The Sublimes format has an established history within Habanos' special release portfolio. Its generous dimensions—a 54 ring gauge paired with a 6½-inch length—provide ample smoking time and allow for complex flavor development throughout the experience. The substantial girth also showcases Ramón Allones' characteristic full-bodied profile to excellent effect.
Brand Heritage
Ramón Allones holds the distinction of being one of Cuba's oldest cigar brands, founded in 1837. Known for robust, full-flavored cigars with excellent aging potential, the brand has become a favorite among serious cigar enthusiasts. The La Palmera Regional Edition continues this legacy while offering UAE collectors an exclusive expression of the marque.
