Fonseca Delicias
Origin: Cuba
Size: 5.00 X 40
Wrapper: Natural

Pablamos Cigars:
Fonseca cigars first appeared in 1906 and in truth they have little changed over the last 100 years. Maybe its their aristocratic heritage, maybe its because they appeal to those looking for a mild Cuban cigar, maybe its simply because they are excellent value for money. The point is that almost 100 years after their birth, Fonseca cigars are still here, many are not. The picture on the lid of the box is that of Señor Francisco Fonseca, a Spanish aristocrat of dapper taste who liked to present his cigars wrapped in a delicate tissue paper, a practice that Fonseca cigars have maintained up to the present day. Fonseca are amongst the softest in taste of the Habanos Cubans with a rich but mellow flavour.

Notes:

These are box-pressed Tres Petit Coronas. Each cigar comes wrapped in tissue paper. The box is marked "Totalmenta al Mano" (handmade, but you already know that).

I smoked more than half of the box in the past month and noticed that most of the cigars are very consistent. They are rolled MUCH too tight (consistently!)

The flavor is OK, but next time I will get the Romeo y Julietta No.3 Tubos, which are less expensive and much better in both construction and flavor.

Notes:

This is another tasty and rather inexpensive machine made Cuban cigar. The construction is a bit rough, but overall a decent smoke. Not quite as strong as most of these little guys but still a full flavored stick.
