My Father Fonseca Robusto

My Father Fonseca Robusto

The My Father Fonseca Robusto is the core model of the series, embodying the art of balance. Shortly after its release in 2020, the series earned a place among Cigar Aficionado's top 25 cigars of the year for its exceptional quality. This Robusto model uses a Corojo '99 wrapper grown from Nicaraguan Shade Grown leaves, perfectly replicating the elegance of this classic Cuban brand. Unlike the more robust character of other My Father models, the Fonseca Robusto is medium-bodied, enveloping the rich layers of Nicaraguan tobacco in a silky smooth flavor.

Flavor Ladder

Initial notes: Upon lighting, the first thing you notice is an exceptionally clean white pepper spiciness, which is then enveloped by the natural woody notes and sweet creaminess characteristic of the Corojo wrapper. Unlike the spiciness of other lines, this Robusto opens with a refined and medium-bodied smoothness. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the flavor profile begins to expand horizontally. The 52 ring gauge provides a full-bodied yet cool smoke, presenting rich notes of roasted cashew, cinnamon, and subtle floral aromas. The blend at this stage exhibits an exceptionally high degree of balance, with each spice flavor perfectly balanced, showcasing the distinctive character of old-school Cuban cigars. Finish: The final stage reveals a warm and smooth texture. The aromas of cedarwood and a hint of leather gradually intensify, accompanied by a lingering sweetness of dried fruit. Even towards the end, the smoke maintains excellent smoothness, leaving no impurities and a refreshing tobacco aroma in the aftertaste.
