Don Rafael cigars aren't the ones taking home all the accolades or stealing all the glory, but they are consistently filling up humidors from coast to coast. Rolled by Jose Dominguez in the very same factory that makes Victor Sinclair, each one is solidly constructed, and offers up a mellow to medium-bodied experience that holds tons of universal appeal.
Draped in a seamless golden-brown Connecticut wrapper, a bevy of Dominican long-fillers and a Dominican binder completes the recipe. Expect earthy sensations from head to foot with some hints of cedar throughout. The finish is smooth yet coats your palate, keeping your interest in its entirety. As far as quality everyday blends go, it doesn't get much more satisfying than this.
I bought these to try out. A light smoke and nice even burn for the whole length. I would buy again.

These used to be a good cigar. Good taste however, the last several purchases of these found them to be rolled too tight, bad draw, hard to smoke. Taking them off my preference list.

Not a good cigar.
Oct 22, 2018
Not sure how this cigar gets good reviews. Very un-enjoyable cigar. No flavor notes to pick up on paired with very hot and harsh smoke. Construction stinks as well, doesn't burn straight and needed re-lighting many times. Would definitely not smoke again.

The price is right on these cigars. Some don't burn smoothly, but you get what you pay for with these cigars. keep in mind that there is no such thing as a bad cigar, just some are better than others.

This is technically a cigar in all regards but there's not but that stands out. In this case the price definitely reflects the quality and that's ok. If you're looking for a humidor stuffer that takes up space then this is your cigar. Nothing special but also nothing terrible.

Great daily choice
Jun 05, 2018
I was impressed with this purchase… and for anyone on a budget looking for a premium daily smoke… you cannot go wrong here. The burn line is consistently even, the draw is perfect, a pleasing aroma, with generous plumes of smoke. Beautiful white/grey ash that holds on for well more than an inch and always leaver a perfectly coned cherry. A medium (on the mild side), with just enough of a pepper dash to keep the Connecticut interesting. I have smoked many a higher priced cigar that was never close to this. It is true that you typically get what you pay for but this is a rare treat, especially amid the many bargain priced cigars of lesser quality.

Pleasantly Surprised!!! ( A unique Novelty Smoke)
Jan 03, 2017
I purchased a 20ct box of these Don Rafael’s as my “give-away” stash was getting low. These are my go to cigars when I have novice smokers over for dinner or party’s, etc.
I smoked one of these as soon as they arrived and WOW I was pleasantly surprised by the draw and flavor. The first 1/4” was really peppery but it soon changed to a smoother, leathery notes. This cigar has a quick but even draw and the unique shape makes it a fun novelty gift. I gave it a 4 because of these qualities. I will be purchasing these again!

A quality cigar at a friendly price.
Dec 15, 2016
Having just received these the other day, OMG, this really hits it out of the park! It is creamy, flavorful, and burns fine. I would put it up against some of the more expensive salomans I get to smoke occasionally. This means at this price, if not a daily smoke, it will be a frequent smoke, if I can put them down before I run out!

A great budget stick, maintains a mild body but with good wood flavors throughout - I keep a few in the humidor for mowing the yard or otherwise light smoking. Definitely a good one to try at under $3 normal price, you will like this guy.
