The Fonseca Edición MX Cedros was, in a word, disappointing. The first third started out quite promising, with heavier flavors of earth, spices, wood and leather. As the cigar continued, the components became discordant, and by the last third they were aggressive and unbalanced. While the price point is quite competitive for the current market, this isn't something I'd see myself returning to.
Initially when planning to review this cigar, the Fonseca by My Father Cosacos was the one I was the most interested in, but in smoking this and the Cedros, I found the Cedros to perform better. I don't see myself coming back to this vitola, but might be interested in checking out others to see if they perform more like the Cedros or if there is an even better vitola in the line.
I really enjoyed the Fonseca by My Father Cedros and I think it is the best release to come out of the factory in a long time. The flavor profile was complex and I thought the finish was brilliant. There is transitioning and depth, and at no point did the strength and body take over from the flavors. Really a lovely blend and an important Nicaraguan puro for the company.
