Popular Post FatPete Posted January 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2019 Fonseca Number 1 This cigar was discontinued in 2012, but it came back and by all accounts has come back even better, and I must agree it is a classy cigar. Being a Fonseca, it comes wrapped in white tissue paper, with the band on the paper, so it is "naked" when you smoke it. The cigar I smoked for this review (UTL SEP 17) had wonderful flavours, great construction and razor sharp burn. It starts light and floral, with sweet hay and a little cream. The second third introduced some unsweetened coffee, and at certain puffs a little citrus. Body went up to medium, and there was a little dryness. In the final third, the sweetness returned as did the cream, and a hint of vanilla milk coffee. Took me over an hour to smoke, and given its modest price too, a definite winner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshhooper7 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 One of my favorite cigars and at the price point its probably the best value cigar on the planet! Made it to my top 5 of 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanaux Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Very nice. I smoked one yesterday myself. May 17. Having a hard time imagining getting any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Going through a box of 14. Most wrappers are thin, but fireproof. Good flavors, but the constant relights are crap. I've heard good things about the releases after the discontinuation was announced, but have not tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
