Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Fonseca by My Father Cedros opens with a medium-bodied profile, offering smooth cedar, mild honeyed sweetness, and subtle toasted almond notes layered over a soft earthy foundation. Early draws reveal gentle white pepper, delicate caramel, and hints of light floral undertones, while the retrohale introduces nuanced spice, soft leather, and a touch of cocoa that enhance the cigar’s complexity without overwhelming. As the smoke develops into the midsection, flavors of milk chocolate, lightly roasted walnuts, and gentle espresso emerge, wrapped in a creamy, balanced texture that tempers the spice while highlighting the blend’s refined character. The final third develops nuances of charred oak, lingering cocoa, and subtle vanilla, leaving a clean, satisfying finish that gracefully fades while maintaining a gentle sweetness.

The burn line remains consistent and self-correcting, while the ash forms firm, light-gray columns that hold well.
