@AngelOfToxicity I avoided these for years because of the small format. The box here that I reviewed blew my mind in terms of flavor & complexity that let me quickly let go of the fact it was smaller in size. They are delicious as any good large format vitola. So yes, they are worth it. My only hesitation is if you may not get a great box or get a box that needs again etc. But, i've also read on FOH forum from others that smoked these and found them surprisingly good. I saw a website recently asking over $300 for these LOL. And some still have them around $200. i hope this helps you in your decision! Greetings to Portugal from usa!

this is a very good question, i started work on a related identifying counterfeits video but yet to finish. It's several factors, there are marks of distinctions that expose poor fakes including redundant hidden micro numbers, black light images, placement in box by gradient wrapper color , online verification, box and cigar band identifiers, etc etc but these can be faked very simply. So at the end of the day, provenance and experience with taste & aroma play most important role. Market is ripe for fakes;The demand much greater vs supply & the incredible profit margins. Hope this helps. There is a naive sentiment that only cohibas are mostly faked but pretty much all marcas and vitolas are often faked sadly. Again, non cuban tobacco and packaging materials are cheap. And if good Rolexes can be faked cigars are child's play.

The burn time was 1 hour more or less, with a very consistent burn line & held almost an inch of ash very impressive (hoping its always this consistent) thanks lovely vids !!
thank you so much & thanks for watching. Great tasting notes and agree / have been having very similar experience on all points too. 😚💨
Are you the Dead guy?
Hi Chris, this reminds me of the several boxes they had at the Los Vegueros store in Vinales with box dates of July 2018 for $6.20. I'm still kicking myself. Informative video. Thanks Mike
👍thanks for watching as always - glad you enjoyed. Ive really enjoyed seeing your cuba videos so far 👌. And those box dates were surreal!
Love the wrappers!!
I know, I do too. Fonseca had style. 😎 Thanks for watching friend.😚💨
Those look tasty! Short filler, tripa corta, cigars are wrongfully overlooked. I've found both the Rafael Gonzalez Panatelas and the Quintero Panatelas,which are both made with short fillers, to be excellent smokes.
Yes, delicious so far 👌Agreed & in addition these stand out even from many other good short filler cigars i've had. Thanks for watching 😚💨
Agreed Quintero Brevas was equally impressive & such a flavourful smoke too, as someone who is new to cigars I was lucky to not have judged based on them being short fillers & in turn have stumbled in to modest gems. Also loved the Flor de Gonzales box pressed one. Love the smoke time too all 3 of these clocked pretty much 45 mins -1 hr very good for short filler cubans!!
👍win win then considering price and all 😚💨. thanks for watching friend 🙏
@@HabanosChris yes totally although in canada almost no cigar is cheap lol, sad state of the world this joy should not be in this state but love your video style too & palette !! Keep up the good work
@@Uno.minimalist yes, would be nice. Thanks again brother, genuinely appreciated 👊😚💨
Pretty good history on the brand. I did not know that. I like American Fonseca.
Thanks for watching 👌Actually, if you notice the "F" on my father cigars (José “Pepin” Garcia), pretty sure it's derivative of the Cuban Fonseca band's F.
I like Fonseca's and the Delicia format in particular. With age (like your box), they outsmoke their price point.
yeah man, agree 👍if this box keeps it up, these are definitely gonna be a regular addition. 👌
Hey brother it’s Dull_background from r/CCs ! Always happy to see you post!!
my man! happy to see you here😚💨
Great box
👌thank you, they are smoking deliciously actually. 😚💨
@@HabanosChris would u recommend 1's or 2's of this brand? Pondering picking up a box of #2's for $450
@@scottlucidi6476 I actually prefer the number 2 a bit. Can be sublime if you get the right box 👌 gl let me know how it works out.
R&J is an absolute classic, you can never go wrong with it 👍🏾
agreed, and these will only get better each day 😚💨
Amazing as usual!
🙏 thank you my brother 😚💨
Sounds like a good smoke 💨!!!
👌thanks for watching 😚💨
Cool!
