Description
The Rafael González Panetelas Extra is a classic Cuban petit corona, offering a slender and approachable format that emphasizes finesse over strength. Known for its light‑to‑medium body, this cigar is crafted with tobaccos from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, delivering the brand’s hallmark smoothness and subtle complexity. Its compact size makes it ideal for shorter smoking sessions, while still providing the elegance and refinement associated with the Rafael González brand. Presented in traditional cedar boxes of 25, the Panetelas Extra is a staple for aficionados who appreciate a delicate yet flavorful Cuban cigar.
Taste Note
The Panetelas Extra opens with gentle floral notes and cedar, immediately showcasing its refined lightness. As the cigar develops, creamy textures and subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and vanilla emerge, adding depth without overwhelming the palate. Midway through, nutty undertones and soft spice enrich the smoke, maintaining a smooth and balanced profile. In the final third, the woody character becomes more pronounced, complemented by lingering floral notes that leave a graceful, aromatic finish. The progression is elegant yet approachable, making the Panetelas Extra a rewarding choice for those who enjoy finesse in a compact format.
