Don Rafael
These mild, smooth smokes are the Everyman’s everyday premium at a bargain basement price.
Don Rafael, rolled by Jose Dominguez in the same boutique cigar factory that makes Victor Sinclair, is a well-constructed, mild to medium-bodied smoke from the Dominican Republic. Comprised of a Dominican binder, all-Dominican long filler leaves and a Connecticut seed broadleaf wrapper grown in Ecuador.
SMOKE magazine says: "Four out of five panelists agree: this is a cigar for everyone. Its mildness and subtle tones of spice and wood, bequeathed to the palate by the Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, make the Don Rafael an excellent all-day smoke for the novice and an excellent morning smoke. This is a perfect accompaniment to a glass of dry champagne or a mimosa, after you’ve finished off a heaping plate of huevos rancheros!"
