Rafael Gonzalez Panetelas Extra

Rafael González Panetelas Extra is a classic Cuban cigar known for its gentle elegance, smooth aroma, and refined light-to-medium profile. Produced in the traditional long panetela format, it reflects the understated sophistication that has defined the Rafael González brand since the early 20th century.

Expect a delicate, aromatic flavour profile with notes of cedar, light honeyed sweetness, toasted nuts, soft floral tones, and subtle earthiness. Smooth and approachable, it offers a relaxed smoking experience with excellent balance and finesse rather than strength.

• Quai d’Orsay No. 50

This elegant Panetela vitola measures 127mm with a 38 ring gauge, hand-rolled using premium Cuban long-filler tobaccos from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region, delivering a slender, cool, and aromatic smoke.

Ideal with a morning cappuccino, light tea, or champagne — also pairs beautifully with sparkling mineral water or a lightly roasted coffee to highlight its subtle, refined character.
