Nice for the price and I was surprised at the flavours from this stick. Starts with a hint of pepper and spice, then mellows mid way and finishes with a touch more spice. Definitely benefits from time in the humidor.

I was only introduced to cigars about 6 months ago so by no means am I a cigar coniseur, but for me this was a fantastic cigar, the aroma was great, it lit beautifully, burnt evenly, held it’s ash, nice smooth draw and plenty of smoke!! It was without a doubt one of those cigars you don’t want to end!! Such an easy and enjoyable smoke.
If your looking for a bigger cigar but don’t want to spend big Cuban prices, then without a doubt find this one a go

Burns evenly, nice easy draw, unravels well. Taste is okay. But for the price not bad

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.
