Rafael Gonzalez Tres Petit Corona
Founded in the 1930s, Rafael Gonzalez is a historic Cuban cigar brand with a soft and elegant character. It gained particular distinction for being the first to coin the term "Lonsdale" for the 6½" x 42 vitola—named after Lord Lonsdale, a renowned English sportsman and cigar connoisseur of the era. This naming set a precedent that has since been adopted by many other Cuban cigar brands.
Each box of Rafael Gonzalez cigars carries a unique and rather poetic inscription in English, suggesting that cigars should either be enjoyed within one month of their departure from Havana or aged carefully for around a year to fully appreciate their flavor. This detail speaks to the thoughtful craftsmanship behind the brand and its commitment to the cigar aging process.
The Tres Petit Corona size offers a light and approachable smoke using a blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, Cuba’s most prestigious tobacco-growing area. The flavor is delicate, creamy, and slightly sweet—making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a more nuanced, gentler cigar experience.
