What are the tasting notes and flavor profile of the Ramón Allones Phoenicio 32?

This Regional Edition delivers a medium-to-full-bodied experience characteristic of the Ramón Allones marca. Initial draws reveal cedar and toasted nuts, progressing to cocoa, leather, and subtle spice. The second third introduces caramel sweetness and dried fruit, while the final third intensifies with espresso and earthy undertones. The 42 ring gauge emphasizes wrapper influence, creating a concentrated flavor delivery that distinguishes it from thicker formats.

How does the Ramón Allones Phoenicio 32 compare to other Regional Editions from Lebanon?

The Phoenicio 32 preceded the later Phoenicio 35 (2009) and Phoenicio 40 (2014), establishing Lebanon's signature anniversary tradition. Unlike subsequent releases that utilized different marcas and formats, the original Phoenicio 32 remains the only Ramón Allones Lebanese Regional Edition. Collectors value it for historical significance and aging potential, with well-preserved examples developing pronounced complexity after 15+ years. Secondary market prices reflect its scarcity and status as the inaugural Lebanese commemorative release.
