Fonseca No. 1 POS JUL16 (MMRW)*

[JoeyBones777]

I've burned through half this box over the past year and they have been quite enjoyable. This one had a bit of a tight draw due to slight over packing. This has resulted in a light body smoke for most of the cigar and the need for the Perfecdraw to loosen it up a tad.

First 3rd is a beautiful floral note throughout with toasted marshmallow sweetness, vanilla and light cedar.

Second 3rd the body increased very slightly and the flavors remained the same. Due to the light body the finish is somewhat short.

Final 3rd sees the body tick up to medium light and a bit of a longer finish. Still getting the lovely floral, toasted marshmallow is now charred marshmallow, the vanilla has gone away and a bit of pepper enters.

Overall, a very good smoke for the price point though this example didn't have the best construction. I give it an 87. I have seen improvements in flavor over the last 6 months. These will be a mainstay in my humidor.
