Fonseca No. 1 MEL SEP 16: ERC


Recommended Posts

I’ve been looking forward to this after all the glowing comments from El Prez.  I’ve been holding it since the Christmas Sampler so let’s put it to the test.

Initial smell of Sweet hay, great wrapper but feels really tight so could have a huge plug  tried rolling but nothing happening

Really Tight on pre-light.  Might need to open her up  it I can’t find my damn tool anywhere   Think the wife tossed it ina cleaning fury.

Initial - holy crap this is a tight draw!  The tip is nearly hard it’s so packed.  Found a small screwdriver but it’s not doing anything.  Time to cut this thing down to save it

1st (of what’s left) - medium body but really enjoying th flavor. Slight hay with some woody.  Some black pepper on retro

2nd - really smooth but not a lot of smoke due to tightness.  Pepper and cedar flavor. Almost like being around a smoker

overall I liked the profile but a total bust of a smoke. Reminded me of my last QdO I had. Hard to enjoy it with it being so plugged but the flavor was good.  Luckily they are cheap and cheerful and might look at picking up a few more for a second shot but weary of a box right now unless this was a one off thing for Fonescas

 

 

happy Easter FoH!

Sad the smoke was a bit of a bust. I've recently been introduced to the Fonseca No.1 and have added it to the rotation for when a lighter profile is in order.
