This cigar is a Robusto Extra, with a 52 ring gaugeand 140 mm / 5.50 inches in length. It’s the sweet spot when you want a cigarwith real presence, but you don’t want an endless session. This is the kind of cigar that fits a proper after-dinner moment, a long coffee, or that terrace vibe where you tell yourself: “Alright, tonight is a Cuban cigar night.”

And yes, the origin matters because this is 100% Cuba: a Cuban wrapperwith a Colorado color, plus Cuban binder and Cuban filler. All island, no weird detours. If you’re looking for a classic Cuban cigar experience, this cigar checks the box. Add the mediumstrength and it gets even easier: it’s a cigar you can take your time with, without feeling like it’s trying to knock you out. You get flavor, you get structure, you get ritual—without needing a reinforced stomach.

The fun part about this Fonseca Du Nord is that it isn’t the most common name you see attached to special releases. Fonseca has a more traditional vibe, so when it shows up as a Regional Edition, it sparks curiosity. That’s where this cigar wins: it’s not just “another Cuban cigar,” it’s a cigar with a specific destination (Canada), a limited-edition feel, and that collector vibe that makes people say, “I’m grabbing a box of cigars to stash.”
