Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos - RE Asia Pacific

The Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos is one of the two cigars released in 2009 for the Asia Pacific region.  Its size, the britanica, is quite unusual and not seen in another Cuban cigar since the Romeo y Julieta Celestiales Finos was discontinued in 2002.
