Rafael Gonzalez Toro

"Very Poor Draw"

I smoked one from a sampler pack. I also experienced a poor draw which made the smoking experience unpleasant.

"My Lungs Are Tired"

The RG Toro Natural is the worst drawing cigar I have ever smoked, period. The taste, though not objectionable, was also un-inspiring. It burned well, and stayed lit for as long as I struggled to get smoke through it, which was about 1/2 of the cigar. Worth noting is the fact that my wife, who normally likes the aroma of a good cigar (yes, I am blessed) commented "What is that? It's giving me a headache." I swear she actually said it. Don't waste your money, unless your diaphragm needs a good workout, and then don't bother lighting it.

Rafael Gonzalez Corona Extra

"I agree with Omaha..... worst drawing cigar ever.."

The box looked fine, the cigars looked great. I unwrapped the first one to sample and went cross-eyed trying to draw my first puff...... I closed the box up and got a refund.

"Tasted like a used Phillies blunt!"

Horrible! Tasted like a used Phillies blunt! Ok, maybe not THAT bad because I don't actually know what a used Phillies blunt tastes like, but to put it politely-it was MUCH worase than a Phillies blunt.

"Nose burner with little taste"

Can't understand all the reviews about mild & smooth. The ones I've smoked are acidic and bland. Don't care for this cigar at all.

"disappointed"

wanted to try after seeing reviews and FS hype. caps rip off when cut, not a lot of smoke and taste couldn't get honorable mention if they paid for it. maybe i just don't appreciate expensive cigars, but is seems like i'm more satisfied with less hyped name brands and private labels.

"The best cigar available in this price range."

Disclaimer: I prefer and enjoy milder stogies. Regardless, RG has always delivered consistentcy with a smooth draw, even burn and what I guess you'd call a mellow, nutty flavor leaving a pleasant aftertaste (and that lovely white ash rarely requires a tray before an inch has been puffed - a telling mark of quality build.) I don't say it can totally compete head-to-head with the boutique Lincoln or Hamilton-eaters but it may be the best you can get for two or three Washingtons.

Bought the Rafael Gonzalez Corona Extra,on the monster deal. This cigar is great! This will be my every day smoke. Just as good as Ashton.

"Definitely a winner"

The first one I smoked was a real bummer - looked and smelled great, but draw was plugged. Luckily I didn't have just one, because all the others - YES! Very tasty, beautiful to look at, and other than that first one, great burn and draw. I'll have these to share when I'm feeling like giving someone a treat.
