Fonseca - Cosacos - Single
A single cigar, the ideal way to try this size before committing to a box.
A light, tissue-wrapped corona.
Fonseca was founded by Don Francisco Fonseca in the 1890s and is known for its signature silk-tissue wrapping. The UK sizes are long filler, and Habanos class Fonseca as light in flavour.
