Fonesca No. 1 (2009) - this was generously gifted to me by [MENTION=13371754]Alexw33[/MENTION] I have smoked a more recent 2017 No.1 that I really enjoyed; full of a lovely sweet creaminess, so I was intrigued how an 09 would smoke. It is a completely different beast, this one had spice and woody notes, with a salty Cuban twang, and I love it! Interesting just how different these are, I doubt this is an age thing, but rather a change in the actual DNA? Either way, I?d love to get a box of these alongside my 2017 ones! Thanks again, Alex! You?re a gent
How are they? Assume these are the ones that were for sale a while back. Was contemplating getting some at the time

I've only had a couple so far - this one is good fairly strong flavor but smoking well. One of the others was unsmokable as it was completely plugged. Good relatively quick smokes.

Interesting thoughts Greg and glad to hear you enjoyed it. But the big question which are better, new or old? Judging by you descriptions I think I’d prefer the new ones so I best get looking for a box or two.

For some reason I thought you already had a new box too! In which case I’ll have to send you one over before you commit to a young box!
[MENTION=13462280]thedame007[/MENTION] and [MENTION=13371754]Alexw33[/MENTION] - if you want to do a proper age comparison then pm me your respective details and I'll send you each a Fonseca No.1 from '99

i bought some of the 90's only had two and had to use the perfect draw as they were very tight but good none the less. Very tasty.
