Fonseca

Fonseca cigars offer mild to medium strength, subtle complexity, and affordable prices that make them ideal for morning smoking and newcomers to Cuban cigars. Created in 1907 by Francisco Fonseca, the brand has maintained its reputation for producing approachable, well-constructed cigars with gentle character. Fonseca cigars feature distinctive tissue paper wrapping around each cigar—a traditional presentation that adds elegance and protects the delicate wrappers during storage and transport. Fonseca cigars are characterized by their mild strength and smooth flavor profiles featuring subtle notes of cedar, cream, nuts, light honey, and delicate spices. This gentle character makes Fonseca perfect for early morning smoking with coffee, or for those who prefer complexity without intensity. The brand’s commitment to quality construction at accessible prices has made Fonseca a favorite among budget-conscious enthusiasts and those seeking reliable everyday cigars. Ring gauges typically range from 40 to 50 across classic Cuban formats. The Fonseca No. 1 (corona, 44 ring gauge) delivers the brand’s characteristic mild flavor in a traditional format, while the Delicias (petit corona, 40 ring gauge) provides a shorter smoking experience perfect for breaks. The Cosacos offers Fonseca’s gentle character in a convenient and affordable vitola. Each Fonseca cigar arrives wrapped in delicate tissue paper, continuing a century-old tradition of protection and presentation.
