Ramón Allones Hermitage Edición Regional Rusia 2017
A full-bodied gem in the Edición Regional series
The Ramón Allones Hermitage 2017 Edición Regional for Russia stands out as a celebrated addition to the extensive Ramón Allones portfolio. Established in 1837, Ramón Allones is one of the oldest brands within the Habanos S.A. lineup, known for its full-bodied cigars and its rich history. Allones himself, the founder of the brand, is credited with pioneering the decoration of cigar boxes with ornate, branded labels, a practice that has become a standard in the industry.
This particular cigar, the Hermitage, is part of the Edición Regional program, which is known for creating exclusive cigars for specific regional markets. The 2017 edition for Russia is no exception, offering a cigar that not only pays homage to the brand's storied past but also brings something new to the table for aficionados.
The Hermitage is presented in the Genios vitola, a format that measures 140 mm in length with a 52 ring gauge. This size is familiar to many cigar enthusiasts, due to its use in other notable Habanos releases. For instance, this vitola has been used in the Cohiba Genios from the Linea Maduro, the H. Upmann Connossieur A, a Habanos Specialist Exclusive from 2013, and Por Larrañaga Fuego del Cañón, a Regional Edition from 2021 for Bolivia, Peru and Equador.
Each Hermitage cigar is encased in a beautifully crafted box, true to Ramón Allones' signature green color, richly adorned with the brand's logo and name. Only 6,000 boxes were produced, each containing 10 cigars, making a total of 60,000 cigars. The rarity of these cigars is further emphasized by the unique numbering of each box, making them a prized possession for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
In terms of flavor, the Ramón Allones Hermitage starts off with a medium-bodied profile that gradually reveals its complexity. Initial flavors are somewhat subdued, with a blend of mixed nuts providing a foundation. As the cigar develops, a subtle pepperiness emerges. The profile, while initially dense and biscuit-like, opens up as the smoking experience progresses, offering a more refined and nuanced array of flavors.
