Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - 1 Single

The best thing about this cigar is that its a quick smoke. Bitter taste with formaldehyde-like overtones.

Interesting blend - mild, cedar and tiny salty notes that pairs well with Old Putney whisky. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

Ordered a single to sample and wish I’d ordered at least two now, because this one was a dud. I’ll try not to let it ruin my first impressions, though. It was plugged solid. A firm rolling in my palms didn’t help much, but I took it to the garden with my morning coffee and lit up regardless. On the odd occasion I managed to get some air through it there were pleasant flavours to be had, pretty smooth and light, an ideal morning smoke I think. Not much smoke, the burn was average and the ash didn’t hold well. Determined to enjoy it somehow I ended up chewing the head in a vain attempt to loosen the draw up. Slight pleasant spice on the lips. I’ve heard good things about the larger vitolas so I’ll give them a shot, and may get some more of these in the hope I get a smokable one. Not a reflection on C Gars’ service by the way; they were fantastic and I understand this happens sometimes—it’s a natural handmade product after all.
