FONSECA
Don Francisco Fonseca founded his brand in the 1890's.
A handsome man, who cared deeply for appearances, he passed his sartorial precision on to his cigars, which he dressed in a silky tissue paper - a tradition that continues to this day on all the Habanos that bear his name.
The image of Francisco Fonseca, who developed this brand in 1906, still adorns the box today. Only in limited distribution, the Fonseca brand is considered to exhibit a rich but mild flavour. Fonseca's delicate blend of filler and binder tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo zone makes it the ideal Habano to follow a light meal.
All UK sizes of Fonseca are tripa larga, ‘totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
KDT CADETE
A well-priced, small cigar dependent on its seco leaf to capture the flavour of Vuelta Abajo.
Lovely smooth easy smoke, the construction is good, the flavors a bit flat, in the sweet-earthy profile. A small cigar with big boy characteristics.
