Raphael Gonzalez Panetela Extra?

[mikinva]

I have always wanted to try Raphael Gonzalez. The Perlas seem to get rave reviews. But, at $4+ per stick, I don't consider them a C&C. The Panetela Extra $110 for 25x2 or $2.20 per stick, is in my C&C range. Are they nearly as good as the Perlas? How do they compare to Por Larranage Panetelas?

I have not tried them, but there is an old thread here:
