Fonseca Cigars

Fonseca cigars combine mild flavors with distinctive craftsmanship. The brand uses tissue paper wrapping on each cigar, originally developed for atmospheric protection, now serving as a signature element of its presentation. These cigars feature light-bodied profiles dominated by earthy and woody notes.

Core Characteristics

Fonseca cigars utilize Cuban tobacco with a focus on mild strength. The blend produces flavors of dry earth, cedar, and subtle spices. The construction maintains consistent draw quality across vitolas, with particular attention given to cap finishing.
