Fonseca Habana Selection Robusto (5 x50)
Posted by Uncle Moneybag$ on 12 Apr 2007 at 03:50 am | Tagged as: Cigar Reviews
For years, many cigar makers have had a “cuban” line of cigars that tastes nothing like the real thing. Last year, the good people at Fonseca finally caught on to this annoying trend, asking “hey, why not us too?” To be fair, this cigar does have some good qualities. It burns well, the draw is firm but not tight. The taste is acceptable–mostly nutty with strong cedar notes and a papery aftertaste. But when you hold yourself out to be a heritage cuban cigar, the bar is raised, and this gar, like most imitators, just doesn’t live up to its own hype.

I agree with you 100% on the “Habano”. Or counterfeit Habano! Or PRE-EMBARGO Habanos!.
They taste nothing like cuban cigars. The only one that comes close for me is the CAO Criollo. And criollo stand for original if I recall…not HABANOS!!!
I’m sick of cigars comparing themselves to Cuban cigars. I’ve maybe smoked one or two that come close, but they honestly try to stand on their own two feet.
