"Dominican master cigar maker Jose Dominguez has done it again. He’s hit a home run with the bases loaded twice in a row. Jose has been occupied for 3 years with the successful launch of the Victor Sinclair brand. Now this next time at bat he’s knocked the ball out of the park with Don Rafael. He deliberately set out to out-Macanudo the Macanudo – not an easy task – but light one up and see for yourself. Unlike the heavy, full-bodied cigars that take years to acquire a taste for and that are meant for leisurely after dinner times, the Don Rafael is meant to be enjoyed at any time. Though its Dominican binder and filler and Connecticut seed Ecuadorian Maduro grown wrapper make for a full flavored smoke, it is bold enough to be enjoyed throughout the day. It has a smooth, mellow aroma that will linger to cloy the palate. The Maduro wrapper gives it a nut-like flavor. This is a cigar that you can confidently offer to anyone. Of course, we know you will find it among your favorites, too." |
