Rafael Gonzalez Perlas Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 14 March, 2021 by Daniel

Had this with a white coffee, mildly sweetened. Good construction that burned pretty much evenly. Started off peppery and leathery in the first quarter, giving way to a woody/hay flavour but still maintaining a slight peppery undertone. Became a much more mild smoke towards the halfway mark, very smooth and creamy. Pepper kicked back in during the 3rd quarter but still incredibly smooth with woody flavours still coming through. Final quarter, past the band, smooth leather, wood, and pepper all coming together in a fantastic crescendo. Recommended to any smoker of light cigars who want to explore a good Cuban.

Really disappointing. Dry, flaky leaves had to be re-lighted continually. Insubstantial.

As a beginner I really enjoyed this Cigar. It was very light and pleasant to smoke. No big bold overpowering smoke or flavours, everything was just nice and gentle. IÂ’d say this was perfect for people like myself who are just starting out, and IÂ’ll definitely purchase another. Lovey stuff.

Received in the June mixed subscription. The tasting notes supplied are a useful benefit. Enjoyed the 30 min smoke. Have added the box to my wish list for a future purchase.

Great price-quality mild cuban cigars. Many of our beginners started with this cigar at Turmeaus Liverpool. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador.

My example had a small tear in the wrapper but other than that the construction seemed fine. How wrong I was. The burn was constantly uneven.....this later turned into canoeing. Later on strange cavities appeared in several places. The wrapper also needed to be re-glued. CGars gave me a full refund. Turning now to the smoking experience this wasnt much better. I found it to be extremely light bodied.....so much so it was hard to tell that it was Cuban. Sometimes it was a little harsh and then there would be very brief moments of peppery potential. All in all a total disappointment.....especially after reading all of the good reviews on this website. Considering that for not much more cash you can be smoking a H. Upmann I cannot recommend this cigar at all. H Upmann seem to do light bodied cigar with flavour better than most. 2.8 stars.
