Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - Box of 25 by Oliver

The most satisfying cigar I have ever had - tantalising complex flavours (earthy, coffee/chocolatety, leathery, gitanes, spicy), moist and creamy, smooth on the throat. Dont need to take out a mortgage to smoke them

Fonseca No. 1 Cigar - Box of 25 by Martin

Lovely easy draw, nutty and spicy, very underrated superb smoke, right to the end. Dont discount these, you will not be disappointed.

Fonseca Cosacos Cigar - 1 Single by Andrew

I had one of these yesterday as I did my shopping at the market. I was a little dubious after a dud cadetes from the same company, but this was good, rich, easy going, flavourful and sweet. It’s not going to replace my usuals, but I’d buy some more for occasional smoking. Outside in the autumn, idling around, it was perfect.

Fonseca No. 1 Cigar - 1 Single by Peter

It was interesting to read the other comments, as I experienced a bit of this and a bit of that. For example, in my opinion it was a medium draw that needed effort, albeit moderate, to keep it going. Nevertheless, the construction was first class. Amongst cigar smokers I not only have to list myself under ‘occasional’ but also as a weakling. In other words I could not possibly cope with something like a Punch. Mildness and sweet natured are my buzz words, and this one hits the spot. I got nuts, cedar and – like another reviewer – a hint of harshness at the beginning that disappeared very quickly and then developed into a delightful subtle flavour that lasted. Only halfway through did I get some tarry spiciness but even then it was not overpowering, and once again, quite curiously, it disappeared again. I had this maturing in my humidor for four years so that might have something to do with it but from me it comes highly recommended. This was my first Fonseca but definitely not the last; an early evening smoke that goes along nicely with Port and Pecorino.

This was quite a nice smooth relaxing smoke, well constructed, consistent, even burn to the end and a good cool draw throughout. Very slight herbal/hay and woody taste. The tissue paper is a nice touch too. Will buy again...

Fonseca KDT Cadetes Cigar - Box of 25 by Christopher

I gave up smoking cigarettes a few years ago. I have only recently started with cigars, and smoked a few different grades, looking for a corona sized mild smoke, most are a little harsh but, this KDT Cadetes is the smoothest smoke I have found. A little hard to draw but satisfying an eminently enjoyable.
