Fonseca Delicias ISOM

[Rob_k]

My second review, hope you like it.
The Cigar:ISOM Fonseca Delicias JAN'04, 4 3/4" x 42

Purchased:Sometime in April
From:a very nice CP'er
Smoked:5/1/05
Stored: My humi (approx 70/65) for 5 wks.
Paired with: Kona Gold blend coffee
Construction:Excellent construction, milk chocolate brown color, shallow veining
Wrapper: Light wrapper, very veiney, nice aroma to it b4 lighting, no tears or holes
Lighting up: I cut the cap, had a perfect pre-draw (perfect for me) not too hard, not too soft. Toatsted the foot, and lit her up...
Ash: Salt & pepper color ash, held on for about 2" b4 falliing off.
Smoke and Draw: Nice amount of smoke, and a nice easy, consistant draw
Initial puffs:The first puff had a light cedar/earthy taste, the aroma was pleasant with an average amount of smoke
1/3 marker: Changed to a nutty taste with a licorace undertone, the aroma was still very pleasant and the amount of smoke became greater
2/3 marker: consistant taste from the 1/3 -2/3 mark
Last 3rd: Changed to a toasted/nutty flavor, gobs of smoke
Final verdict: Smoked this one down to a 1/2". It was one of those smokes I wish didn't end. The flavor was very appealing, as this is the 3rd type of ISOM I have ever smoked (I did have a San Christobal Principe a month ago) and Cohiba's Siglo I)it is certainly a differnt smoke. The nutty /cedar/earthy/licorace tastes made this one a winner in my book. Nothing like the Fonseca domestics I have had in the past. This one gave me a hell of a nicotine buzz!!
My Rating: .8 out of

Nice review :thumbs:

very detailed review.

The Fonseca Delicias is a nice little ciger and cheap too (for an isom).
It is one of the few short filler isom's I know of.

It is one of the few short filler isom's I know of.

There's plenty of them out there. Very good value cigars. Can't compare them to totally hand made though. But they do have their place.

This was the first isom I ever had, a sample at a shop while abroad, and I purchased several of them at the time. I very much enjoyed it, and just finished my last one a couple weeks ago. At some point in the near future I plan on ordering a full box of these. Thanks for the nice review.

Nice review! I've tried some of those, too bad I can't remember anything about them :sign:

Nice review. I really like the rating system. The Fonseca was one of my first ISOMs...I think it was a KDT something-or-other :blush: (little embarrassed that I can't remember the rest of the name). Anyway, I remember it being pretty mild and creamy with hints of toastiness and nuts. Good little cigar.

Keep up the reviews.

I'm happy that someone does a review of the kind of cigars I smoke! That was an awesome review, one that actually will come in handy for me. I'm more prone to buy the less expensive m/m over the super premium h/m...

y'all dig?

We need more of these realistic reviews of the daily smokes!

uh...is it really that late?
hmmmn...I guess I shoulda went to bed right before the "y'all dig?"

yeah... :whistling:
