Description
Fonseca cigars, established in 1892 by Don Fancisco E. Fonseca, soon became very popular due to not only using the finest tobacco leaves available but also the innovative packaging, which featured a paper wrapping and a tin foil tube.
Today, as a nod to tradition, every cigar still has the paper wrapping.
Every Fonseca cigar is described as “tripa larga, totalmente a mano” ie, long filler and handmade with leaf still sourced from the Vuelto Abajo region.
They are known for their mild and distinctive flavour.
The Fonseca No.1 measures 6 3/8″ in length and has a 43 ring gauge with a smoking time of around 45-55 minutes.
The Fonseca brand is a very good starting point for those wishing to explore the vast range of Cuban cigars, with their light and distinctive smoking characteristics.
