Fonseca Cosacos Cigar - 1 Single
by Colin
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I bought one of these based on the previous reviews that I had read and was looking forward to sitting out on the deck with a coffee and enjoying this cigar.
I was surprised when I removed the paper coating to find the stick was quite veiny and the seam of the wrapper was quite prevalent. Nevertheless, I cut and toasted (narrowly missing the remains of the cap peeling away) and then sat down to enjoy this smoke.
Initially, I found the smoke harsh on the soft palate and back of the throat. I was getting a strong saltiness which wasn't unpleasant but the harshness was distracting from the flavour. Just as it began to settle down and get a bit more mellow, the burn began to grow increasingly uneven. The ash began to droop and then after only about an inch of the way down, it went out completely.
I relit and continued but very soon thereafter, the burn became uneven again and a dark colouration started to develop halfway down the wrapper. It didn't lose the bitterness either. And then, another half an inch and it went out again!
At this point, I was cursi

Nice even burn with good (strong) ash. Very mild and light with lovely aroma. The draw was actually quite tight and there were a few knots up the cigar! Would recommend though as it's very good value for money!

I've been wanting to try the Short Churchill for a while and I wasn't disappointed. What a great cigar and a perfect size. It had an excellent burn with strong ash and wonderful smoke. It was a lovely mild, sweet, nutty flavour and lasted me just under an hour. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A wonderfully earthy, medium-flavored cigar, perfect to kick off your Sunday morning over a hot, strong cup of coffee to contrast. Notes of coffee, chocolate, and earth ensure a pleasant, hot smoke during your final length. The mild buildup does not disappoint, and a nice, smooth draw compliments nicely.

One of my go to cigars. Easy to smoke any time of the day. Aside from the very odd occasion that a wrapper might split as mentioned by another reviewer I've not had any issues with this stick. Draw is always spot on.

A nice enough looking cigar. The flavours are obvious, pronounced but too distinct for me. There are plenty of other options in this price bracket that weave the flavours together in a much more complex and pleasant way. Draw was tightish and I had to abandon the stick earlier than expected as it was burning very hot indeed. More time needed in the humidor? Who knows. For me, my stick didn't match up to the price tag. I would try one again but I'm in no rush.
