When one examines the Flor de Rafael Gonzalez box, the following statement can still be found: "These cigars have been manufactured from a secret blend of pure Vuelta Abajo tobaccos selected by the Marquez Rafael Gonzalez, Grande of Spain.”

This 'secret blend' has been pleasing cigar smokers worldwide for over 20 years. To truly appreciate this brand's exquisite fragrance and outstanding smoke, it is recommended that the cigars be smoked within one month of their shipping date, or smoked only after being aged for about a year. Made in the famous Romeo y Julieta factory, these moderately priced cigars are among the best cigars available regardless of the price. The brand is particularly well-known to serious cigar smokers. Be careful not to confuse the Flor band label with the famously full-flavored Montecristo brand; As the Flor de Rafael Gonzalez Cuban cigars are among the mildest of the Havana cigars, you would be quite surprised if you lit a Montecristo by mistake.
