Don Rafael cigars are premium mellow and smooth, built for Everyman’s everyday enjoyment at bargain basement prices.
Don Rafael cigars, rolled by Jose Dominguez in the same boutique cigar factory that makes Victor Sinclair, is a well-constructed, mellow to medium-bodied blend from the Dominican Republic. Don Rafael is comprised of a Dominican binder, all-Dominican long-filler leaves, and a Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in Ecuador.
SMOKE magazine says: "Four out of five panelists agree: this is a cigar for everyone... subtle tones of spice and wood, bequeathed to the palate by the Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, make the Don Rafael an excellent all-day smoke for the novice and an excellent morning smoke. This is a perfect accompaniment to a glass of dry champagne or a mimosa, after you’ve finished off a heaping plate of huevos rancheros!"
Grabbed a box of these because of the low price point and have them aging in the humidor but decided to try one early.
Construction is decent for the price
The burn is uneven but this could be due to lack of aging
Draw is good
Flavor is pretty bland, nothing exciting.
Bottom line its a cheap cigar that is ok for riding the zero turn, surf fishing or just something to smoke.
In summary its exactly what i expected. A decent cigar at a decent price. Going to age them for several months to see if flavor improves

A good mild to Medium cigar. However, surprisingly a couple I smoked canoed a bit. Don't remember this being an issue with previous Don Rafael's I smoked. Hopefully it was an aberration and the rest will not do so.

Great mild smoke that usually allows you to enjoy an uninterrupted 45 minutes of pleasure. But there's those 2 or 3 cigars in every box that burn unevenly and insist on being lighted again and again. Otherwise great buy for the money and will continue to buy.

My Favorite Cigar
Aug 10, 2018
The Don Rafael Connecticut is the cigar that I keep coming back to after I've tried other cigars. I've tried lower cost cigars for smoking on the golf course on windy days, and higher cost and high rated cigars for "sit down" smoking. The Don Rafael is the cigar that I consistently find to be the best smoking, best tasting, and most enjoyable cigar that I have smoked. For the cost, I think it is the best cigar buy that I can make. Try one or two. You'll enjoy it.

Up and down
May 13, 2018
1st off, they have all been good burners so far. I've probably had 10 or so out of the box. They do lack a flavor profile for the most part. But I have had some that are better than others. I bought these sticks to be a "garage time" smoke and they are just that. You won't mind losing one or two to the ashtray at this price point. Overall not bad, not great.

Decent everyday smoke
May 10, 2018
I think the Don Rafael Conn. Shade is a decent everyday smoke. They are very light and smooth. I prefer the Don Rafael Gold but they were out of stock. These will do for now.

Apr 11, 2018
I don't like to post bad reviews, but thus far I have found these too tightly rolled with a grotesque uneven burn and poor taste. The one I smoked yesterday was much better burn so maybe letting them sit in the humidor for a few months helps a little bit, but the taste was still very bland.

Mar 22, 2018
I have been Down Rafael 77 for a long time and I’ve always been satisfied with the cigar. However last batch I purchased does not seem to be the same rap Seems different in the first three cigars separated after smoking about 1/3 of the cigar. I’m waiting to see if this issue continuesMy cigars are in the humidor at 65 to 70°.

inexpensive, but quality taste
Mar 11, 2018
I bought two 20-pack samplers of Don Rafael smokes earlier this year. These Connecticut churchills are a good, inexpensive stick, while their Gold churchill is my favorite of the bunch. These Connecticuts offer a loose construction, and fast draw complimented by the consistent, mild taste. The only cigar in the sampler I didn't like was the black label Nicaragua by Don Rafael, and I'll write a separate review of it.

Great Cigar at a Great Price
Feb 12, 2018
I tried one of these a few months ago, totally by happenstance. I have kept a box of them in my humidor ever since. The construction is excellent, with very few uneven burns (1-2 cigars out of 20). The few uneven burns I did have were easily fixable, with a very quick and short touch up. They are easy to light, and stays lit throughout the entire smoke. The draw is easy and even. The flavor is nice and smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend these cigars to anyone!

Don’t Taste The Same
Feb 08, 2018
I have purchased boxes of these and they seem to me getting worse not better. Lately they are soft and chewy, lots of twigs and very harsh about halfway thru the stick. Maybe it was a bad batch, will try another box and then decide. Always have been very enjoyable except for the last few boxes.

Wedding Favor
Nov 19, 2017
Purchased the Don Rafael as a wedding favor participants at a family wedding. It has become a tradition at graduations and family weddings to have group photo with lit cigars. Many of the participants this time had never smoked a cigar before so the Rafael was the perfect mild smoke for new inductees into the family traditions. The cigars were a big hit for all those who participated and cigar was enjoyable for the occasion.

Disappointment...Then Moderate Success
Nov 15, 2016
Rather disappointed in the cigar's structure. Received two of these sticks as part of CI's Victor Sinclair Tip Top Torpedo 8-pack. The first one I tried burnt very unevenly and was hard to draw on. The one I currently have in my hand started out the same way. I decided to experiment by further hacking off slivers of the cap until I could get an enjoyable drag out of it. The result: I ended up losing most of the lovely taper, which is synonymous with torpedos, but I gained a much improved smoke. I would try these again - they're definitely cheap enough and I do enjoy the mild taste. Just a shame to lose the taper.

Great smoke
Nov 11, 2016
The 107 Salomon is a smooth smoke with an easy draw. The burn is always consistent right to the end and the flavor never becomes rough or biting. This is a great cigar for the money and I enjoy the uniqueness of it's construction.

Dry cigars

I had to add moisture for 5 days until the cigar was good to smoke. When properly humidified it is a good smoke for the money.

Don Rafael Connecticut #97 & #107
Oct 20, 2016
Both great cigars from head to toe these are wonderfully smooth, tasteful and mild. A good burn creating a solid ash, maintains a great taste from start to finish. Been a member of CI for a few years now and believe this is one of the great tasting smokes I've had. Thanks CI for introducing me....

This has to be the best cigar for the money out there. As one other reviewer said it pairs nicely with scotch. A pairing I'm taking advantage of at this moment. Could I be happier? I don't think so.

Don Rafael Churchill
Jul 01, 2016
When I lit up the first Don Rafael it didn't start off good. The cigar was very soft and ended up having a worm hole, right down the center, about 3/4's the length of the cigar. Since then I've had several with worm holes and two that wouldn't stay lit. The couple cigars that weren't a wreck, were pretty good. The construction is so poor, though, I will never buy another one.

The pre-smoke was ok but the post smoke and after taste was not good to me. Kinda like paper. I have gotten use to and prefer a Gurkha smoke or a Vagas 5. This cigar came in a sample pack so I don't know it that had anything to do with it.

They start off smooth and draw well. The smoke is medium bodied with hints of spice. About halfway through though the taste turns from spice to bitter and the smoke becomes pungent.

In general, a good value and decent smoke, accept, the occasional cigar that burns unevenly and is a poor smoke. I hope the next box I order is completely uniform, so I don't have to discard a bad smoke.

Bought a sampler with these in it. I thought that this one was going to be my least favorite, but after smoking the other 3 that were in the sampler, this one ended up being my favorite. Its pretty smooth and mild. Only smoked like two of them so can't comment on specific flavors or notes, but I do remember it being really good. I would buy a bundle of them if the occasion came up.
