Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up:

The pre-light draw is of light hay and chocolate.

Burn/Draw:

The burn is even and sharp and the ash holds firm. The draw is smooth and easy but not too loose.

Initial third:

The initial third starts with sweet touches of nuts and cream, the aromas surely sweet but there is a decent pinch of salt bitterness as well. It is a delight.

Middle third:

During the second third, you are surrounded by a dense and milky smoke coming from the cigar. The major flavors are of salted nuts. Delicious.

Final third:

In the final third, the cigar flavors evolve and the coffee and cream aromas now stand out. Nevertheless there is a distant sweetness sporadic flower taste hints.

In summary, these Fonseca No 1’s are a joy to smoke. They are under appreciated.
