Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdales Cigar – Single

The Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdales features a Hermoso No.4 format measuring 127mm (5”) with a 48-ring gauge. This Cuban cigar shares dimensions with classics like El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme and Romeo y Julieta Exhibition No.4. UK availability includes Semi Boîte Nature boxes containing 10 hand-rolled cigars, crafted with long-filler tobacco from Vuelta Abajo, Pinar del Rio.

Compared to the brand’s Petit Corona (42 ring gauge) and Perla (40 ring gauge), the Coronas de Lonsdales offers a broader draw while maintaining a light-bodied profile. The flavor progression begins with creamy tobacco and cedar notes, transitioning to roasted nuts and floral sweetness. Vanilla and mild spice emerge in the final third, supported by a medium-strength combustion that lasts approximately 90 minutes.

• Construction: Hand-rolled with triple-seam caps for even burns
• Wrapper: Cuban-seed tobacco leaf
• Strength: Medium-bodied with 90-minute smoking duration

This cigar’s 48-ring gauge provides enhanced airflow compared to traditional Lonsdale formats, complementing its nuanced flavor delivery. The Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdales uses aged tobacco from San Juan y Martínez and San Luis farms, contributing to its balanced complexity without overwhelming newer enthusiasts.
