Shape: Torpedo

Size: (6 1/2 inches x 54)

Strength: Medium

I paired the Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez with Armenian vodka, which is also known as oghi. I drank so much that night that, at one point, I had two cigars in my mouth. I found myself smoking both simultaneously. It was the first time I pair a cigar with another cigar. I even have a picture of it. But I’m not sharing it here because I look so wasted in it.

Branding: The Ramon Allones Toro is a well-ornamented, good-looking cigar. The gold and the red used in the band design make the stick look royal and sophisticated. Moreover, the cedar sleeve the cigar comes in sends the right message, that this cigar is worthy of being protected.

Construction: Well-built; expertly rolled. My fingers could find no weaknesses. I had a solid Torpedo in my hands.

Pre-light: The virgin draw was promising. I closed my eyes and imagined a beautiful woman baking a cake. She wore nothing but an apron, and she had an inviting smile on her face. I could smell the dough.

Cut: Straight cut.

Burn: Nice and even. Smoked it indoors. No wind, no problem.

Duration: I smoked it on and off because I was at a wedding party and I was also dancing. But I’d say the smoke time was somewhere between 90 and 120 minutes.

Draw: Great. Not too firm, not too loose. Just right.

Smoke: Could have been thicker and creamier.

Ash: Good.

Flavor: Coffee, earth, bread, wood.
