double coronas

There aren’t many cigars left in the Cuban Ramon Allones brand, but the ones that still remain tend to perform well. The Gigantes is no exception and scored 92 points. In addition to being one of the few surviving cigars in the Ramon Allones range, it also happens to be one of the last Cuban double coronas in production. Also scoring 92 points, the New World Oscuro Double Corona is made in Nicaragua by A.J. Fernandez. All the tobacco in this blend is grown by Fernandez, who is expanding his agricultural footprint across the country. Two double coronas scored 91 points and both are made in Nicaragua as well: The Tatuaje Broadleaf Reserva Tainos, which features a broadleaf wrapper, and the Illusione 4/2g Slam, which is part of the company’s core line.
