The Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdale is now available in the U.K.

Despite its name, the latest addition to the Rafael Gonzalez range is neither a Corona or a Lonsdale. It is a Hermoso No.4, measuring 5” (127mm) x 48 ring gauge, and joins other classic Havanas of this size such as the El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme, Vegas Robaina Famosos and H. Upmann Connoisseur No.1.

It joins the brand’s Petit Corona and Perla in the UK range and it’s comparatively heavier ring gauge will no doubt attract the attention of cigar smokers looking to explore a little off the beaten track.

Rafael Gonzalez is sometimes eschewed in favour of more eye catching Havana cigars. However, for those willing to look past the simple, understated branding, there is a light flavoured treat in store. A fine expression of the subtlety and nuance Havanas are able to offer.

Presented in Semi Boîte Nature (SBN) boxes of ten cigars, the Coronas de Lonsdale are made entirely by hand using long filler tobacco sourced from the legendary plantations of Vuelta Abajo in Pinar del Rio, Cuba.
