Explore Rafael Gonzales
Every Rafael Gonzales Pettit Coronas is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Rafael Gonzales has long held a quiet, almost cult status among Havana devotees who prize finesse over force. First registered back in 1928 and launched commercially in the early 1930s, the marca earned its place in cigar history by naming the now-ubiquitous Lonsdale format after Lord Lonsdale, the celebrated English sporting earl and committed aficionado. The Petit Coronas carries that heritage into a compact Mareva shape, a hand-rolled Vuelta Abajo blend built for smokers who want refinement without a long sitting.
The opening third leans gentle and creamy, with a soft honeyed sweetness wrapped around light coffee and a faint touch of gingerbread. As you move into the middle, the body firms up toward medium and earthier tones emerge, with cedar threading through alongside a hint of dried fruit. The final stretch settles into a balanced, lightly spiced finish that keeps the smoke composed rather than aggressive, true to the brand’s reputation for a mild yet flavorful character.
Keep these resting at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius (about 64 degrees Fahrenheit) in a well-seasoned humidor. Because the Petit Coronas is already a refined, lighter smoke, even a few months of patient rest helps the honey and cedar notes marry and round out. Many of these mild Havanas reward a year or more of careful aging, softening any youthful edges while preserving that signature creamy sweetness.
This is an ideal cigar for the smoker who values elegance over intensity, whether you are new to Cuban tobacco or a seasoned hand looking for a relaxed daytime option. The shorter Corona format suits a coffee break or an early-afternoon moment when you have around forty-five minutes rather than a full evening. If you tend to favor bold, full-bodied powerhouses, this one will feel restrained, but that gentle, balanced profile is exactly the point.
Is the Rafael Gonzales Petit Coronas a strong cigar?
No. It is a mild-to-medium smoke that begins gently and builds only modestly toward a medium body, making it well suited to daytime smoking and to those who prefer subtlety.
What size is the Petit Coronas?
It is a Corona in the classic Mareva format, measuring 5.1 inches (about 129mm) with a 42 ring gauge, typically offered in boxes of 25 and smaller packs of 5.
Why is Rafael Gonzales associated with the Lonsdale?
The brand is credited with naming the elegant 6.5 inch by 42 ring gauge Lonsdale shape in honor of Lord Lonsdale, a term that has since been adopted right across the cigar industry.

Customer Reviews
The Rafael Gonzales Pettit Coronas is a respectable corona. Nice notes of leather and wood, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Cuban Cigar offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
