Rafael Gonzalez Perlas

Description

A welcome new addition to the array of small format, light flavoured Havanas. Well made with a distinctive aperitif taste. Great accompaniment to a glass of bubbly. One of the most recent cigars of the Rafael Gonzalez lineup, (released in 2011), and is a pretty short smoke, perfect for a morning break. Its construction is excellent; it's perfectly rolled and feels nice between the fingers. It smokes beautifully, rather slowly and has a nice creamy profile but also develops some powerful woody aromas. There are also some creamy aromas, some coffee, some spices from pepper and some berries touches. The finish is long, with vanilla and some floral aftertaste.
