La Flor De Rafael Gonzalez, Originally known as "La Flor De Marquez", has a rich history dating back to it's inception in 1928. It was founded by a Spanish aristocrat, Marquez Rafael Gonzalez, who aimed to captivate the English market with his cigars. The brand, which became part of the portfolio of El Rey del Mundo in 1936, experienced a period of obscurity, dissapearing in the early 1940's only to reemerge in 1965. Rafael Gonzalez cigars are recognized for their mild taste, making them suitable for both seasoned smokers and those new to the experience. Today, the brand continues to stand out for its understated branding and the quality of its cigars, which are made entirely by hand using long filler tobacco from the legendary Vuelta Abajo plantations in Pinar del Rio, Cuba
