Loved it, exceptional flavour. I got toffee coming through strongly with toasty biscuit flavours in the background, that's the best way I could describe it, combined with the rich and fragrant aroma of well seasoned Cuban tobacco. Definitely some mild fruit flavours in there also. After my first one, I can say this is one of my favourite little cigars, I would definitely take one of these over the Monte #4.

Unfortunately my cigar tunnelled but I believe this to be resultant of too intense of a heat upon lighting, with the core becoming hotter than the outsides (I used a triple jet flame) But my word, the flavours were to die for. A wonderful host of rich flavours, I don't need to repeat exactly what they were as this is clear from the other reviews. The bad burn was unfortunate but I believe it to have been my fault, it will not put me off buying plenty more.

What a fantastic cigar! On the first puff I got a huge hit of chocolate and coffee, almost with a cake-y type taste to it. As the smoke progressed I got a whole host of wonderful rich sweet & savoury flavours, with both dark and milk chocolate type tastes appearing throughout. Immediately this has become one of my favourite smokes and I will be purchasing a box as soon as possible.

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.

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Very enjoyable. I smoked this while reading a book and it was a perfect compliment to such. Perfect draw, just a little resistance as you'd like and a great burn. The Majestic is very flavourful but isn't particularly complex, however you don't always want that, with a box of these you'd know what to expect. In the first third it was quite mild with a nutty, woody taste. In the second third it built upon these flavours and became slightly more rich with leathery notes appearing and a little sweetness; in the final third this rich leather and woodiness was even more pronounced with coffee flavours becoming noticeable. In the final couple of inches I did notice a little bitterness but I put this down to the cigar being young. Overall, a fantastic smoke for the price and is one I will definitely be returning to.
