Rafael gonzalaz petit corona: SOM MAR 16: ode to the 40 and 42 guage cigar review week

[dicko]

Smoked and wrote this on Tuesday. Thought I was being cool smoking an "under the radar" cigar so very surprised by all the reviews of this cigar.

 

1st third - sliced toast, toasted tobacco, coffee, slight vanillan oak after 5 minutes, raisin/sultana heading into 2nd third, my girlfriend had a puff she describes molasses

 

2nd- hits a flat spot about a third in, more earthy, coffee core, bit of coffee cream, sweeter flavours have backed off but still present.

 

3rd- picked up again. Still coffee core and toasty but the burnt sweet flavour is back

 

Overall- very complex cigar. It lacked a little bit of class. A wee bit grubby. Very good though and still young. I would rate an 89.

I forgot to mention body was medium and construction was spot on.

So true @dicko, all these Rafael Gonzalez reviews may lead to an unofficial FoH marca renaissance! 

Ok, I admit it, I had to have a Rafael Gonzalez Perla myself after breakfast this morning! 

Cheers and thanks for the review.

A wee bit grubby and lacking class is how my wife describes me!
