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.

COSACO

Virtually a Petit Corona and dressed in Fonseca's pristine white tissue.

 

Tasting Notes

This 42 gauge is the brand's most popular vitola. A smooth flavour and aroma and an easy draw and combustion make this cigar an all-purpose Habano.

89 / 100

"There's a firm draw to this dark, streaky corona, but strong woody notes and touches of candied orange peel still come through...."

Not the prettiest looking wrapper that's quite veiny. Thr cigar had a firm draw which eventually loosened a bit, and had a fairly even burn. A Light-Medium Cigar. Because of the firm draw, it was initially difficult to taste anything. Gradually flavours did develop and become more prominent further on. Subtle flavours I could make out were grassy or herbaecous, some nutty coffee, and there's a distance slight sour tinged. Once the smoke got going, I quite enjoyed this - and would consider it again.

Just smoked one of these and found the taste and smell was excelant, a good drink with this for me is a gatsby, ( southern comfort, dry ginger, lime cordial ), mouth wateringly sweet togeather, the only thing that let me down was the very uneven burn, this one was badly made after the first inch of ash drop off, will defenately recommend this to anyone and I will be back for more

I actually found that this wasn't quite as nice as its smaller counterpart, the Cadete. Not quite as smooth. But in its own right, not bad at all. Very complex flavours and lasts a good while. 7/10.

this is a good smoke, smooth, good draw and subtlely complex flavours. Well constructed and burned very evenly. A good value Cuban for £2.00 less than some others.

what a pleasant surprise! bought this out of curiosity as i've never seen this around my usual shops. well I must say this as a cracking smoke. well received if your a medium flavour preferrer. almost mild roasted flavour, yet light, cool and smooth - coupled with a fantastic burn and very pleasant draw. all for under a tenner! definitely worth a try.
