Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez Torpedo

The Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez Torpedo opens with a bold medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an intense combination of sweet cedar, dark cocoa, and roasted coffee, accented by a robust black pepper spice that energizes both the palate and retrohale. Early draws reveal layers of molasses, toasted almond, and dried fruit, adding depth and a touch of sweetness to the rich foundation. As the cigar progresses into the midsection, the pepper spice settles slightly, allowing flavors of espresso crema, caramelized brown sugar, and warm baking spice to emerge, carried by a dense, velvety texture that amplifies complexity. The final third deepens with charred oak, bittersweet chocolate, and a faint earthy sweetness, leaving a long, satisfying finish with lingering spice.

The Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper presents a dark, oily sheen with a rich, reddish-brown hue, flawlessly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of aged Nicaraguan fillers from AJ Fernandez’s farms in Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa. The torpedo format is expertly crafted, with a firm, even pack and a tapered head that concentrates flavors while ensuring a smooth draw. The pre-light aroma offers barnyard earth, cocoa, and cedar, while the cold draw reveals nutty sweetness, mocha, and a hint of pepper. Upon ignition, the burn line remains sharp and consistent, producing thick, aromatic smoke and holding sturdy stacks of dark gray ash in neat columns.

The ideal whisky pairing for this cigar is GlenDronach 18 Year Allardice, whose sherried richness, dried fruit depth, and warm spice enhance the Ramon Allones’ cocoa, espresso, and molasses-forward profile.
