Rafael Gonzalez Panetelas Extra

[pauldrums81]

The remaining 22 from an 07 box that I bought from spirit of will. Love the RGPC so am looking forward to these.

Nice few years head start too, enjoy.

From my couple of experiences of their PC I have to admit to not being much of a fan of the RG marque (different strokes for different folks I suppose). However, I'm planning on trying a Coronas Extra after lunch on Thursday, so my opinions may change once I've branched beyond the PC...

I bought a box of these last year and found most of them plugged. Problem was that the ones that weren't plugged, were so hard to draw that they might as well have been!

Let us know how they go as I maybe just got a rogue box.

Bought an '04 box of these from La Manga on a mates stag wk'end back in 2006...

They've been in the humi for years and only now are they coming good...

I.E. slight give when you press them and you don't feel like your sucking through a hosepipe when you take a draw...

Cheers, HabanoSy

I just smoked one while I was walking the dog and it was very enjoyable. The draw was pretty tight to begin with but loosened after an inch or so. I'm going to try to leave them alone for a while to see how they improve.

I had one from that box Paul I found it ok. Un complex a bit rustic but easy and did the job

I love these as a go-to smoke. The tripa corta keeps them from being overly complex and some will be plugged (as is true for nearly any cigar, really), but there are few cigars that can beat them at their price point. I find these have a lot of cuban twang for their small size. They also don't need a lot of age; the "aging directions" on the box pretty much sum it up. I've got two boxes currently in the humidor, both JUN 10, one of which is almost gone because they've just been smoking that well.
