FONSECA 

Don Francisco Fonseca founded his brand in the 1890's. 

A handsome man, who cared deeply for appearances, he passed his sartorial precision on to his cigars, which he dressed in a silky tissue paper - a tradition that continues to this day on all the Habanos that bear his name. 

The image of Francisco Fonseca, who developed this brand in 1906, still adorns the box today. Only in limited distribution, the Fonseca brand is considered to exhibit a rich but mild flavour. Fonseca's delicate blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone makes it the ideal Habano to follow a light meal. 

All UK sizes of Fonseca are tripa larga, ‘totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

NO. 1

An unusual size similar to a Londsdale, this is the largest vitola currently made by the brand. It offers a light taste at the outset that goes on to develop some earthiness as it progresses.

Good construction and easy drawing, the flavour is somewhat spicy, with a medium body. Very well manufactured, it is a small gem.

88 / 100

"Light in appearance with some stitchy veins. It's a creamy smoke with dried orange peel and floral notes rounding out the flavour..."
