Rafael Gonzalez Perla Cigar - A welcome new addition to the array of small format, light flavoured Havanas. Well made with a distinctive aperitif taste.
Rafael Gonzalez was created in the 1930s. It was in this brand that the 6 1/2 inch by 42 gauge cigar, known as the Cervantes in the factory, was 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.
Each box carries a curious inscription on its lid, written in English, suggesting that the cigars should be smoked within one month of the date of shipment from Havana or otherwise carefully matured for about one year.
Rafael Gonzalez cigars contain a light-tasting blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone.
Rafael Gonzalez Perla cigar has notes of hay, nuts, a hint of spice and even a hint of toasted coffee or dark chocolate too.
