Review #32: JUN 99 I like these cigars, always have. I’m a pipe smoker, too and they remind me of one of my favourite tobaccos: Dobie’s Four Square, a mild and refreshing smoke with honest tobacco taste and aroma. The ones I’m smoking now were purchased in Spain in 2001, the box is marked SUA ES00. They cost the equivalent of about 65 euros at that time and I still have roughly half the box. They’re not a spicy cigar, but very smooth, possessing an initial flavour tending towards that of good, India black tea. The ash, compact, is medium grey in hue with darker, almost gunmetal grey trails betraying the carbonised remains of the cape’s fine veins; falling on cue at the debut of the second phase. There the black tea evolved into caramel and green tea with rosemary, punctuated by hints of coffee and hazelnuts. The final third was announced by the ash dropping once more and the flavours intensified, accompanied by an increase in acidity. In this last section there is a special aroma also, which I can only describe as “the odour of clean straw in a well maintained riding stable”: insinuating herbs, grain, leather, sawdust, earth and sweat, usually finishing on a note of burnt cocoa. Paired with water as was this one, they leave me with the delicate aftertaste of rose petals. A delight! This is my third box over the last ten or twelve years, purchased in Andorra and Spain, and I’ve always found them to be consistent in appearance, construction and flavour. I can understand how someone might compare them to Dominicans because of their mildness, but there is a depth and a fullness to the smoke that I’ve never experienced from anything other than a Havana. Be it the Partagas 8-9-8s and Cohiba Robustos, for special occasions, the Bolivars, Montecristos, Romeo y Julietas, and Por Larranagas serving as change of pace treats, or the lowly Punch Coronations, which I alternated for a time with the Cosacos as my regular cigar, they’ve all shared that particularity. After reading the negative reviews here, I’m wondering if the quality of the Cosacos has been maintained into the new century, or perhaps if some of the more outrageous prices I’ve seen of late, such as those in Great Britain, for example, haven’t caused people to look at these cigars as something other than what they are. - Submitted by pommefritz on June 26, 2009


Review #31: --- 06 Construcciòn algo ruda, màs esponjoso al tacto en unas zonas que otras.Olor en frio: Muy leve a madera, casi plano. 1/3 - Inicio con notas muy vegetales y algunas amaderadas. Y nada màs, sosìsimo. Combustiòn correcta. Fortaleza media - baja. 2/3 - Se añaden algunos levìsimos recuerdos a cacao y cafè. Fortaleza baja. 3/3 - Se torna un poco amargo. Hora y cuarto sin apenas sabores y aromas. Para ver fotos visitar http://elpurohabano.blogspot.com/ - Submitted by rafa on May 30, 2009


Review #30: I got some great smoke out of these and really enjoyed 'em. I've smoked two so far and thought they were both great. Mild, smooth, subtle and soft is the way I would describe them. I was a little concerned that they were too loose- but both times it just lead to big beautiful plumes of smoke. I just gave it a little more time between puffs, and they never got too hot. For the price I thought they were great, and I will be smoking more in the future. - Submitted by kyleg on December 8, 2008


Review #29: Really enjoyed this cigar. A bit interesting on how to take it out of the thin paper it is embedded in. However I am sure it will become a ritual upon smoking more of these. Nice taste almost an almond taste. Nice roll, pull and ash. Would have given it a 9 but it went out on me twice I only lit up once oh well it happened near the end of the stogie anyways. Overall 70% - Submitted by Cuba_Raff on September 8, 2008


Review #28: I didn't mind this at all. It's not a premium Cuban, but it's not a dog rocket either. I find it better than the KDT. The construction was good but the draw was a little loose which lead to the cigar burning a little hot. It did burn evenly. Huge plumes of smoke. Very nice flavours that are all Fonseca. You know you're smoking a Fonseca. Not too bad with some age either, like all cigars. I found the flavours very bold and full. The top review seems to contradict itself. This is not a cigar with mild tobacco taste. It is earthy but I didn't find any pepper until the last half. If the construction weren't so loose I'd think that this would smoke a little slower. An average cigar, but a nice Fonseca. - Submitted by cookj1 on June 25, 2008
