Rafael Gonzalez Perlas Cigar – Pack of 5

The Rafael Gonzalez Perlas Cigar originates from a brand established in the 1930s, credited with popularizing the Lonsdale vitola. Each box includes a note advising smokers to either consume the cigars within one month of shipment from Havana or age them for approximately one year. The blend uses filler and binder leaves sourced from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo zone, known for its tobacco quality.

Measuring 4 inches (102 mm) in length with a 40-ring gauge, the Rafael Gonzalez Perlas Cigar is designed for shorter smoking sessions, typically lasting 30–40 minutes. The flavor profile includes light tobacco, cedar, and earthy notes, transitioning to subtle sweetness, roasted nuts, and floral undertones. A faint spice complements the blend without dominating the palate.

The cigar’s construction features a smooth wrapper leaf, contributing to a consistent burn and even draw. Its mild-to-medium strength caters to both newcomers and seasoned smokers seeking a lighter option. The box inscription emphasizes either immediate consumption or extended aging, reflecting the brand’s focus on optimal smoking conditions.
