This Cuban-made Corona Extra, known as the Fonseca No.4 Edición Regional Benelux 2010, boasts a classic Hermosos No.4 shape, measuring 5 inches by 48 ring gauge. Its understated yet charming presentation features soft white tissue paper wrapping, adding to its down-to-earth charm. The wrapper's light Colorado hue is silky to the touch, and the cigar's construction is solid, yielding slightly to pressure. When lit, the Fonseca No.4 Edición Regional Benelux 2010 unfurls a mild to medium-bodied smoking experience, initially showcasing toasted cedar flavors and a rich, creamy texture. As the smoke evolves, deep notes of black coffee and dark chocolate become apparent, accompanied by a hint of spice and a dry, woody finish. The final third of the cigar introduces subtle floral nuances and a robust espresso flavor, ultimately yielding a complex, well-balanced profile. Throughout, the draw is effortless, generating a generous smoke output, and the burn remains sharp, with a firm, light gray ash that forms. This cigar is perfectly suited for a morning or midday smoke, pairing nicely with a cup of coffee and offering a flavorful, yet relaxed, smoking experience.
