Rafael Gonzales

Rafael Gonzalez cigars embody elegance, refinement, and sophisticated smoking experiences that have delighted connoisseurs since 1936. Created by the Marquis Rafael Gonzalez, these cigars were originally marketed to British smokers who appreciated subtle complexity and superior construction over raw strength. This heritage of refinement continues today, with Rafael Gonzalez producing elegant, medium-bodied cigars that showcase Cuban tobacco’s more delicate expressions. Rafael Gonzalez cigars are characterized by medium strength and sophisticated flavor profiles featuring notes of cedar, cream, almonds, honey, light spices, and subtle floral undertones. These refined cigars appeal to smokers who value complexity and balance over power, offering elegant smoking experiences suitable for any time of day. The brand maintains exceptional construction standards, ensuring even burns and effortless draws. Ring gauges typically range from 42 to 48, with the brand favoring classic, slender vitolas that emphasize elegance and sophistication. The Rafael Gonzalez Petit Corona (petit corona, 42 ring gauge) delivers the brand’s characteristic refinement in a compact format, while the Panetelas Extra (panetela, 37 ring gauge) showcases elegance in an even more slender vitola. The Coronas Extra offers Rafael Gonzalez sophistication in a traditional corona format. Each cigar represents the refined taste and quality construction that have made Rafael Gonzalez a favorite among discerning smokers for generations.
