Top 25 Cigars of 2020 - Ranked #18 Rated 93

My Father Cigars acquired the Fonseca brand from back in 2019, with the goal to elevate this historic cigar brand with Cuban roots and to establish a strong presence in the U.S. market. It seems anything My Father Cigar touches turns to gold, and the new Fonseca’s are sure to make a splash. These new Fonseca cigars are made at the My Father Cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, and is comprised of all Nicaraguan tobaccos. The cigar blend is highlighted by a shade grown corojo 99’ rosado wrapper, with a rich Nicaraguan core making up the binder and filler tobaccos. A medium bodied profile, that’s rich with flavors of earth and spice, tamed down a bit to pay homage to the classic Fonseca brand which is considered milder of the Cuban brands.
