Habana Selección

At its 2006 release, the Habana Seleccion boasted more Nicaraguan leaf and ligero than any of Quesada’s prior blends. The wrapper is Nicaraguan grown Habana Criollo 98; the binder is “Cuban Seed” Nicaraguan; and the filler is a blend of Dominican seco and ligero leaf that has been aged for five years.  The wrapper is a fairly oily colorado maduro, and in the Havana tradition the head is finished with a triple cap.

The sizes in this line are named after the classic Cuban vitolas from Fonseca: Cadetes, Cosacos, Delicias, etc.  The vitolas are dressed in tissue sleeves, similar to the Cuban Fonsecas.  

The Fonseca Habana Seleccion was available exclusively from Cigars International (at 4 to 5 USD) or from its auction affiliate Cigarbid.
