Fonsecas are one of my favorite morning cigars. The taste is a bit lacking in complexity. mainly cream and tobacco with a hint of coffee. I have some 96 and 98 Cosacos, a few 03 Cadets, and not nearly enough 98 Invictos. This is one of the few cigars that I have tried where aging does not really seem to effect them. They are mild cigar to start with and really don't mellow out or change taste from fresh to 12 yrs.
