Cigar Review

The Rafael Gonzalez Panetelas Extra cigars are is floral, herbaceous, sweet and elegant. The weak point may be that it doesn't age well. The minimum recommended ageing for this cigar is at least 3 years. Strength 2/5. Until circa 2002, this was a machine-made "Vegueritos-old" 37x127 vitola.
