After just 'checking' my cigars were ok in my Tupperware humidor I felt my arm twist up my back and in no time at all I was sat at the top of my favourite hill looking down on the glistening lights of the town. I sat with my car heater on, radio 2 subtly playing in the background and a Ramon Allones Small Club Corona in my hand ready for ignition. No idea what happened. It's funny how my Cigar Sunday has now turned in Cigar Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...
Lifting the Ramon to my nose I noticed a slight, intriguing cocoa smell that tempted me further to finally light.
First impression was a bitter taste at the back of the mouth which a touch of tannin.
Although the roll of the Ramon didn't feel too firm the cigars draw was quite tight and it took a little effort to extract the smoke.
After an inch the flavour developed into a spicy, straw taste with peaks of clean cut fresh grass which got me thinking the cigar may be quite young. I didn't find the flavour to be quite as complex as other cigars so I turned off the radio to concentrate more.
For the first half of the cigar I couldn't find any real depth in the flavour and I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't as soon after a powdery, white pepper flavour started to pull through. The flavour was powdery but without any dryness. I strived to find the cocoa taste I detected prelit but couldn’t really reach it with my palette.
The burn so far had been very uneven. I was cautious to light carefully but the wrapper had receded quite far back in one place and a thin strip of un-burnt wrapper lay up along the ash.
It wasn't until I'd smoked more than half this cigar did I start to enjoy the flavour. I found the Club Corona to be quite mild and for the last third it became almost creamy with a hint a leather and white peppery spice on the roof of the mouth.
Personally, I found the Ramon Allones Small Club Corona to be pleasant but uninteresting until the second half. I wished it could have been longer in length so I could have enjoyed it more which could have swayed my verdict.
I am going to explore the Ramon’s further, I'm sure there’s a treasure in their somewhere, sadly for me it's not the Club Corona. I am excited to try the next on my list, the Ramon Allones Specially Selected.
