Fonseca no 1 unknown year (SBLVRW)

TB 35. KC 27

Cigar is the last one that I have in my singles drawer. Dunno the box code. Looked lonely so I plucked it. 

Pretty underfilled from the feel of it. Lights up well, and just a pretty solid spine of toasted tobbaco and cream. 

Not a heck of a lot of nuance or development. Still solid clean tobbaco and cream flavors. 

Needed a few re lights. But all in all, solid stick. I wish these were still around at 6 bucks a stick. Those were the days. Best golf cigar in the world

I have never found a perfect “golf stick”, as I find the anger from hitting my 3rd ball in a row into the water inhibits my enjoyment. ?

fonseca 1 was the first box of cigars I bought. 

$130 from 24:24. 

Haven't seen them up in a bit, but I'm guessing they are also up 35% like most Cubans these days. Likely around $170 / box?

$204 in November 24:24... still worth it for a reliably good cigar. One of the few I'd say you can buy blind almost anywhere with more than reasonable confidence.

Up 25%.  PSP boxes were on 24:24 Feb 3 for $211, with a UTL May 18 box code.

Yea. It's not a true test because the ones I saw on 24 24 had 2 plus years of age on them. I'd hope they come back and land somewhere sub 200. They're good, but they're not worth much more than 225 a box imho.

I got mine from 24:24 last year clearance for $149 last September. PSP was $211 last week.

Edit: My box was supposed to be UTL SEP 19, but ended up being UTL MAY 18, same as last week's code.

Mine was UTL Oct 17

It didn't go so well. I won't be purchasing another box.
