Ramon Allones (D.R.) Gustoso

Dark wrapper, good solid feel, excellent draw. Great flavor in a medium cigar. Cedary, nutty, a little spice. I got a box from JR on sale: $2.30 a cigar. Well worth it. A solid 8. Not quite a RASS, but pretty close. This cigar looked like it had some age on it. Recommended.

Garbage cigar, ugly wrapper, bitter taste, waste of time and money

This well-constructed little fire plug of a cigar really hit the spot. Great draw, very good burn, nice ash, and an assortment of flavors that woke and stirred the old taste buds from start to finish.

Pretty much as good as any cigar I have smoked lately, and better than most. I will spend more money on these, and if they are all as good as my first, I'll consider them a true bargain.

To paraphrase an old cigarette ad .. "I'd walk a mile for a Ramon Allones"

This is a great smoke. Its a medium smoke that builds up to give a full body finish.
The flavor is coffee woody with some undertones of spice. Its a well made cigar.
I am surprised by the low rating on here.
I would say this cigar is just as good as the Cuban Specially Selected and is $10 cheaper.

I expected this cigar to knock my socks off but it turned out to be a very mild and lacked real flavor. I was very disappointed but I can say it had a nice draw and was a relaxing stick to smoke but I wouldn't go out and buy any of these.

I agree with a lot of the reviewers in their comments of "just o.k." and "good but forgettable," but this smoke deserves a much higher average rating that the current 6.81. It had the refined, smooth flavor of a premium cigar more than twice its price. I could tell right away that it was Dominican as it had some similar notes to some of the La Aurora and La Flor Dominicana cigars I’ve enjoyed in the past. It didn’t have the vigor and spice of those brands, but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. It certainly never tasted “cheap” or second-rate. In short, it’s not a “special occasion” cigar by any means, but I enjoyed smoking it and was impressed with the blend. I’m sure I’ll buy a couple more to keep around.

Bought a fiver of these a couple of years ago and never smoked one, until this morning. Rustic is the perfect description of the wrapper. It's rough but attractive. Medium bodied with a good burn and flaky ash that tightens up a little as you go. Good flavors of wood, wood and more wood with some earth and coffee. Goes well with coffee and should go well with a oaky scotch, whatever that is.

A remembered I smoked one of these last week. Nothing in my mind stands out. Good. Not great. Rustic looking.

This cigar started out with great promise with some spice and the promise of a full-body. I experienced some bitterness mixed with what was otherwise a smooth, pleasant, medium body. Some chocolate and coffee flavors occasionally. Became unsmokable at about halfway (too harsh). I'd recommend the Sancho Panze Extra Fuerte instead.

I believe the wrapper is D.R., not CTSH. It has a similar smoking quality as Indonesian leaves such as used for RyJ. Mild to medium, smooth and sweet. Not a bad smoke.

nice smoke when chillin'

The cigar was bitter and the wrapper (dominican, I am told) adds nothing to the flavor or aroma. There are better robustos out there for the money--the Camacho Corojo Monarch for one.
