Rafael Gonzalez Panatelas Extra Box of 25

The Rafael González Panetelas Extra is a refined light-bodied Cuban cigar that embodies the subtle elegance and traditional character for which the brand has been known since its founding in 1928. Originally created for the UK market, Rafael González has long been regarded as something of a connoisseur’s secret, appreciated for its understated style and gentle complexity.

Produced at the Vegueritos factory using tobacco from Cuba’s famed Pinar del Río region, this Panetela format delivers a smooth and approachable smoking experience. Presented here in a box of 25 cigars, it offers consistency and value for those who enjoy a lighter Cuban profile on a regular basis.

Measuring 5 inches with a 37 ring gauge, the Panetelas Extra provides around 25 to 30 minutes of relaxed smoking time. From the first draw, soft notes of hay and light cedar set a clean and delicate tone. As the cigar develops, gentle floral nuances and mild earthy undertones emerge, supported by a subtle natural sweetness that runs throughout the profile.

The finish remains smooth, light and slightly rustic, maintaining its refined mild strength from start to finish. Elegant, accessible and quietly expressive, it is a cigar that rewards those who appreciate subtlety over intensity.
