Let's talk about the My Father Fonseca Cedros - a 6¼"×54 Nicaraguan puro that'll cost you about $10 per stick. This box-pressed toro from the Garcia family farms comes with a slick Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and that signature pigtail cap. Perfect for medium-strength lovers who dig earthy sweetness without throat punch.
Cold draw serves up raisin sweetness. Initial puffs deliver black coffee bitterness balanced by cashew creaminess. Smoke output's moderate - not a cloud chaser's dream. The ash holds firm at 1.5 inches.
Maple syrup sweetness emerges, cutting through the earthy core. Watch for occasional pepper spikes around the halfway mark. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups.
Leather and mineral notes take over. The Nicaragua Jalapa filler shows its teeth with lingering black pepper on the tongue. Strength creeps up to medium-full - newbies might wanna stop at the nub.
Rolled at My Father's Estelí factory using their signature "tripa larga" bunching method. The wrapper undergoes 18-month fermentation in pilones. Interesting fact: Fonseca's original Cuban blends were lighter, but this Nicaraguan take amps up the body while keeping that creamy texture.
