Corojo ’99
Fonseca
Fonseca was reintroduced by My Father in 2020 as a Nicaraguan puro finished with a shade‑grown Corojo ’99 (rosado) wrapper; it occupies the medium strength lane and delivers earth, cedar and black‑pepper notes with intermittent cocoa or maple highlights.

Filler
Nicaraguan tobaccos
My Father’s Fonseca repackages a classic name into a Nicaraguan puro built from Garcia‑grown tobaccos and a Corojo ’99 rosado wrapper. The line aims for balance: an earthy foundation with steady cedar and toasted‑wood notes, underpinned by black pepper and baking‑spice on the retrohale, while sporadic maple, honey or cocoa temper the spice. Packaging nods to tradition—tissue‑wrapped Cosacos and a cedar‑sleeved Cedros—yet the blend is unmistakably a My Father interpretation, sitting between the smoother Fonsecas of old and the house’s more aggressive blends.

Fonseca Belicosos
halfwheel chronicles My Father’s acquisition and the August 2020 relaunch, lays out the six‑sizes lineup and packaging options, and confirms the all‑Nicaraguan blend finished with a shade‑grown Corojo ’99 rosado wrapper. The piece pairs those facts with tasting notes and a clear verdict that this Fonseca is a balanced, peppery reinvention with its own identity.
Personal Cigar Review: Fonseca by My Father Cosacos - Developing Palates - Cigar, Beer and Spirit Reviews and Ratings
A blow‑by‑blow tasting of the Cosacos that tracks an early candied‑cinnamon note giving way to toasted wood, persistent black pepper and later dry earth/wood bitterness, with strength hovering slightly above medium. The review also documents draw and burn behavior (including a brief outing) and compares performance against the Cedros option.
