The Rafael Gonzalez Coronas de Lonsdales is a robusto measuring 127 mm by 48 ring gauge, wrapped in a smooth yet somewhat dull colorado leaf. Its draw is notably good.
At cold draw, the aromas evoke black tea and earth.
The first third opens gently and smoothly. The flavors are rustic yet harmonious and balanced, with notes of black pepper and earth.
In the second third, the strength rises slightly, unveiling aromas of nuts, mushrooms, and earth layered over a base of light pepper and leather. The smoke carries a pleasant spiciness.
The final third is linear and nicely controlled, with dominant notes of earth and underbrush completing the profile.
Conclusion: Introduced to the brand’s catalogue just three years ago, this straightforward and charming habano has earned a half-ring upgrade.
