Ramón Allones Petit Belicosos Edición Regional Gran Bretaña 2012

The UK market has a long affinity for Ramón Allones — a relationship that stretches back to the brand's earliest exports and continued with the 2005 Belicosos pre-ER release. The Petit Belicosos Edición Regional Gran Bretaña 2012 is a formal regional edition produced for Hunters & Frankau, presented in 5,000 numbered semi-boîte nature boxes of 10 cigars.

What it tastes like

The Petit Belicoso vitola packs a wide 52 ring gauge into a compact 5-inch frame — the same Campanas format used for the Allones No. 2 EL 2019, but arriving nearly a decade earlier. The result is intense and full-bodied right from the start: dark spice and aged leather open the first third, supported by a rich earthy backbone. Roasted nut notes develop through the middle alongside coffee, and the finish is long and satisfying without turning acrid. At 30–45 minutes of smoking time, it's more punchy than leisurely.

Regional Edition details

The "Edición Regional Gran Bretaña" secondary band marks this as an official ER release, distinct from the unnumbered 2005 Belicosos. The numbered boxes and limited run of 5,000 make it a genuine collector's piece. The UK market received the 2005 release without formal ER status; this 2012 edition formalized that relationship.

This is a full-strength cigar built for experienced smokers who know how to cut a belicoso properly — the tapered cap demands a straight cut to avoid unraveling.
