The Rafael González was founded in 1928 and officially registered in 1936. Although relatively low-key among Cuban cigar brands, it holds a special place in the hearts of seasoned cigar aficionados. The brand is known for its ultimate mild to medium gentle palate, one of the few Cuban brands persisting in producing mild cigars. It holds an important place in Cuban cigar history; for example, the well-known Lonsdale size was first named by this brand. Its products use premium leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, providing delicate, elegant, and full of floral and woody smoking experience through exquisite craftsmanship, an ideal choice for enthusiasts pursuing refined, soft styles.
