» No.....I am up to "F" in the review week.

Does this mean we'll be reviewing Guantanamera next week? Cuz I smoked my last 5 a couple of weeks ago, and haven't had time to order more... :-P

I'm in the same boat, tried the Cosacos and they weren't memorable. I did enjoy the Invictos, but came to them late in the game after they were discontinued and haven't had one in a long time. They were a fun little odd shaped cigar.

...I already lost my dignity smoking a guantanamera, you wont make me smoke this, even knowing should be better... no no no sir, I'm not going to be a martir again!

People who dis Fonsecas based on hearsay are missing out, in my opinion.

I think Fonseca #1 are one of the best value Cuban cigars available. They are NOT mild, in my experience.

I made the smart decision some time ago to invest in a box of 1998 Cosacas. They were an amazingly pleasant surprise. I went through them like I would a bag of potato chips, they were that good. Yes, they were on the mild side, but had a nuanced complexity and balance and a hint of sweetness that I haven't found in many other cigars.

A cigar that does it all...

Just breaking your chops. I am not ashamedly in the camp of "I'd rather just smoke something else" I have several "value smokes" in my humidor and for the money I challenge you to beat a PL Montecarlo from early 07. It cant be done. H Upmann should be a good week...

[marco polo]

I've tried some Delicias and they are ok , a little bland to my

taste. I agree on the PL Montecarlo, great cigar for the money :-)

Seriously, with some age Fonsecas are terrific cigars! At least for those who don't have the proverbial Billy Goat palate. :-D

Good smokes imho. But there are other marcas I would go to first for this kind of thing. Hoyos, ERDM, and (especially) Rafael Gonzalez.
