Everyone that's been around for more than a day probably know's I'm the resident La Perla Habana whore :thumbs:

My only problem is that LPH is not available anywhere locally (or even within sane driving distance for that matter).

When I was new here SD_Stack and I did a little swapping. He sent me a Fonseca Serie F that was a preview relaese. I smoked it and it was damn good :) Since then, my local shop has started a weekly promotion Fonseca Fridays. The offer varies from BOGO to free hats. I try to take advantage of it at least once a month :)

I must say that Fonsecas have been top-notch, consistent since that first Serie F. I've probably had 30 various Fonsecas in that time. I didn't really realize I was starting to gravitate towards them - they totally earned my respct over time.

Their Vintage robusto is one of the best NC smokes around IMO.

The end. By Dixie. :D

Cheers,
Dixie
 
I've always been fond of Gurkha since I discovered them years ago. Must have 10 different ones in the humi at the moment. What's your favorite Fonseca? Maybe I'll pick up a few.
 
The Serie F was my first Fonseca; I immediately went back to the shop and bought 10 more. Somehow haven't gotten around to picking up a box, but the Vintage series sounds really nice.

'Bout time you got away from those nasty LPHs. :sign:

I'd rank my top 4 as

Vintage Robusto
Serie F Toro
5-50 Maddie
5-50 Natural


The Vegas de lince is good, but you really need to be in the mood for a powerful smoke. It is probably the smoke Mac failed to produce with their "Robust" line.

Also give the sungrown cedar line a go :thumbs:

Cheers,
Dixie
 
Are you getting the Vintage Robustos from JR?

No - McCranies....though atlanticcigar.com has really good prices on them.

I'm next up in the Nebie Trade rotation. I'll probably try to get a box of Vintage robustos for my end :thumbs:

Dixie
