Rafael Gonzalez Panetelas Extra

[westg]

Have seen the following these have so I purchased a box. Feb 12..I must say very nice little cigar. Can see myself having one of these every morning. And for the price evening as well.

Just had one with a pot of chai tea..amazing pairing, earthy, rich and spicey. Really impressive little cigar .

what would you guys say the strength of these is? As in mild, medium, full?

Thinking about picking up them or a box of Rafeal Gonzales petite coronas.

I do like them full strength, though. My favorite petite corona is a bolivar

At the low end of medium for me.

thanks.

when I dismiss larger rg's and less than full strength smokes, and then contend with who will ship to my area it doesn't leave a whole lot.

On the plus side, that gives me more to focus on to start doing some planning for aging.

I'm smoking a box that is a year old right now and they are great. I find I'm favouring them over the Por Larranaga Panetelas.

When on, the PLP are really hard to beat, literally "best bang " for the money out there. I do enjoy the RG PEs A LOT and always have some in the rotation, but they are clearly second to the PLP for me. BTW, I find the RG PE do need some time to show well, whereas the PLP can be great ROTT.

About a year ago, I had the pleasure of smoking a RG with about 5 years of age on it....Im now sold on the brand, great smoke!

I'm enjoying these very much. Just got a box and it was from 2010! Not quite as flavorful as a PLP but a good change of pace.
