Fonseca Vintage Selection Cigars

Multifaceted Cigar

This is one of the smoothest cigars, for the price, that I have ever smoked. In fact this lead to one of the problems I had with this cigar. It was so smooth and so mild, that I had a hard time identifying flavors at times. However, this was the only real problem I had with this smoke. The draw was good and didn't get tight near its end. The burn was slow and even. It took me a good hour to smoke this hefty lonsdale. For those who desire a great mild cigar for a modest price, the Fonseca Vintage Lonsdale may very well be for you.

Super Smooth, Very Pleasing

The Fonseca Vintage Lonsdale (Tube) was one of the first cigars I every smoked. Still to this day (6 years later) it's one of my most favorite. Always well constructed, never a hard draw, if you want a larger size mild cigar this is one to try.

Short on flavor

This cigar was very well constructed, but the taste was bland, one-dimensional and unsatisfying. The burn and draw were excellent, though it did not produce a great deal of smoke. It looked nice and had a pleasant aroma. I kept waiting for the flavor to intensify, but it didn't happen. What flavor there was was woody and somewhat grassy. As good as it looked, it was disappointing and I got bored with it. I wouldn't buy again.

Fonseca Vintage Lonsdale

A friend brought me 2 Fonseca Vintage Lonsdales (tubes) back from vacation in the Keys. I loved them ever since, bought a box and going to savor them every Sunday for the Bucs game !! :)

Quite tasty, not over powering, smooth after tast

After being aged in my humidor for about 2 weeks, the burn was even and the draw was perfect. The cigar in itself was for the most part perfect. The flavor was not over powering, but did leave a smooth aftertaste. The taste was somewhat nutty mixed with a bit of a spice. Not sure of what the spice tasted like, but was well pleased in the taste. I would highly reccomend buying this cigar. My rule of thumb is the 70/70 for the humidor. 70degrees and 70% humidity. Best of luck and happy smoking!!! :-)
