Ramón Allones

The first one is produced on Cuba for Habanos SA, the Cuban state-owned tobacco company.

The other is produced in Honduras for General Cigar Company, now a subsidiary of Swedish Match.

The brand was created in Cuba by brothers Ramón and Antonio Allones (no relation to the Antonio Allones of El Rey del Mundo fame) in 1845, and is supposedly the first cigar brand to have utilized colored lithographs for box art, the first brand to utilise bands on cigars, and the first to package cigars in the "8-9-8" style (though there are several rival claimants as to who first made box art and bands).

[1] The brand went through numerous ownership changes before it was finally bought by the Cifuentes family and production was moved to the famous Partagás Factory, where Ramón Allones cigars are still made to this day.

Of the sizes available now, the Specially Selected, Gigantes, and Small Club Coronas are popular among aficionados.
