The Coronas Extra is the flagship of Rafael Gonzalez — a Lonsdale vitola that perfectly embodies the brand's classic, elegant style. A favourite of traditional British cigar smokers since the early 20th century. The elongated Lonsdale format allows the blend to develop slowly, offering a refined, mild-to-medium smoke with characteristic Cuban complexity. Widely available in UK specialist tobacconists and European duty-free.

Tasting notes: Cedar, cream, floral, light pepper, almonds, mild tobacco sweetness, dried grass.

The Brand

Est.1928HQHavana, CubaFactoryPartagás Factory (Real Fábrica de Tabacos Partagás), Havana, CubaPart ofHabanos S.A.

A Havana-based cult brand with an unusually strong following in the United Kingdom, where it has been imported since the 1920s. Rafael Gonzalez is known for its classic Lonsdale vitola heritage — the brand's house style is mild-to-medium, elegant, and approachable without sacrificing the complexity expected from a Cuban. The brand's bands carry a note recommending smokers to 'allow the cigar to cool before lighting a second time', a charming artifact of early 20th-century cigar marketing.
