Frankinho007 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi guys, While browsing some cigar stores here in Germany I found out that the Fonseca No. 1 - thought to be discontinued since 2012 according to the Cuban Cigar Website - is back in stock at some retailers. Since I like the Lonsdale format I bought one of the boxes. According to the boxing date, these are fresh ones - ARG DIC 14. Another German shop offers some with MOE NOV 14. So, are they back in production or did the Cubans just found some Fonseca's flying around and shipped them? I heard some stories that there were shortages of the silk wrapper - the other vitolas were unavailable for a long time here, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 To my knowledge it wasn't discontinued in 2012. It was reviewed in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Havanoscope. I don't know where CCWS got this info. This cigar has always been widely available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgravito Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's weird: I'm happy that they haven't been discontinued, but I'll never buy a box. I do like them enough to buy a few though, but not because they're particularly good. I like them because they're kind of one dimensional and almost dirty. They're sort of like ketchup potato chips.
