Fonseca Cubana Limitada

I really didn’t know much about this cigar until I did my research for this review.  It was a cigar in the humidor that I must have received at an event.  The size intrigued me as it was a small belicoso and looked like it might be a nice late morning cigar.  I couldn’t have been more wrong.

This is a nice looking stick.  It has a dark oily wrapper with heavy veining.  I clipped the end and lit it easily.  The first few puffs were heavy rich peppery smoke.

The cigar is well made with a gray white ash that holds well.  The draw was easy with lots of smoke.  The cigar burned evenly with a crisp edge, despite my paying little attention to it as I struggled with a now defunct mouse.

The flavor of this cigar was one note.  It started out peppery and continued with that same taste getting stronger as it smoked.  It had a slightly bitter but not offensive twinge to it.

At over $6.00 the value is questionable.  I would have enjoyed this little powerhouse more if there nuance to the flavor or if it had been a little less expensive.
