RAFAEL GONZALEZ

Rafael González was created in the 1930’s and its cigars contain a light tasting blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone.

It was in this brand that the 6 1/2 inch by 42 gauge cigar, which has the factory name of Cervantes, was the first called a Lonsdale after Lord Lonsdale, the famous English sporting Earl and cigar aficionado of that period. Now many other brands use the name as well. 

On its lid label each box carries a curious inscription written in English to the effect that the cigars should be smoked within one month of the date of shipment from Havana or otherwise they should be carefully matured for about one year. 

All sizes are made by the ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade technique.

PETIT CORONAS

A light, elegant Petit Corona with a taste that makes it an ideal way to start the day.

Mild in aroma and flavour, best after a light summer lunch.The construction is very good and the draw is excellent, all a good representation of what a mild cuban should be.

"A box-pressed little smoke with a gritty wrapper and three-seam cap. Dry walnut and leather notes become lighter with touches by balsa wood, hay and flowers..."
