Presented in tissue wrappers and renown for their balanced flavors, Fonseca Cosacos cigars deliver a smooth tobacco texture adorned with earthy/peppery overtones. Offered at a reasonable price, these Cuban cigars are an excellent value and make for consistent, enjoyable everyday smokes.
Perhaps the most underrated brand, these long-filler Fonseca cigars have a construction that is quite good. The shiny colorado wrappers confirm the quality of the rolling, producing an excellent burn and a superb draw that delivers voluminous amounts of smoke.
For aficionados used to smoking full-bodied cigars, the Cosacos may appear to be tasteless. Indeed, these mild-to-medium bodied Havanas are perhaps better suited to the beginner. The subtle spiciness, creamy feel and underlying sweetness gives them a pleasant character, while traces of coffee, nutmeg, wood provide a slight complexity.
Fonseca Cosacos require at least 3 years aging to truly develop their flavors.
