Ramon Allones Allones No.3

The Ramón Allones No. 3 is a striking addition to this storied brand — its first new regular-production vitola in over four decades. A robusto-sized cigar known as “Nobleza” in Cuban factories, it measures 5⅝" × 52, hand-rolled from long-filler Vuelta Abajo tobaccos and presented in elegant boxes of ten. With an even burn and a smooth, satisfying draw, it delivers a full-bodied experience that is both complex and approachable. Close in size to the popular Montecristo Edmundo, it has quickly become a firm favourite among fans of the brand’s venerated robusto, the Specially Selected.

About Ramón Allones

Founded in 1837 by brothers Ramón and Antonio Allones, Ramón Allones is one of Cuba’s oldest and most influential cigar brands. It revolutionised the industry as the first to introduce colourful lithographs and decorative labels on cigar boxes, and among the first to use bands on cigars for branding and authenticity — innovations now universal across the cigar world. The brand’s full-bodied, rich house style has made it a connoisseur’s favourite for nearly two centuries, prized for depth, complexity and superb Cuban construction.

Fun Facts About the Ramón Allones No. 3

The Allones No. 3 was the brand’s first new regular-production vitola in more than forty years — a genuinely rare event for such a traditional Havana marque, and a big moment for its followers.

Ramón Allones was the first cigar brand to put colourful lithographs and decorative labels on its boxes, and among the first to band its cigars — innovations from the 1800s that the entire industry later adopted.

Its Cuban factory name, “Nobleza” (“nobility”), suits a brand founded in 1837 that has long been a connoisseur’s choice for rich, full-bodied Havanas.
