The Plasencia family has been a major player in the cigar industry for a very long time. But of the last 10 years or so, their name is becoming better known for releasing top shelf cigars bearing their family name. Plasencia Cosecha 149 is a follow-up to the Cosecha 146, which earned a 92-rating and ranked as the #24 best cigar of 2018.
Cosecha 149 pays homage to the 149th crop the Plasencia family harvested in 2014, which yielded great Honduran tobaccos. This blend is Honduran grown through and through in the filler, binder and wrapper. All tobaccos in the blend are perfectly aged before rolling, and due to powerhouse Honduran blend, it provides a full-bodied profile with nuanced notes of cream, dark chocolate, and earthy hint of cedar.
Good news! Plasencia Cosecha 149 has earned a 92-rating, noting: “Though a bit rustic in appearance, this thick cigar makes up for it with superb performance. It burns and draws evenly, loading the palate with notes of baking spices and gingerbread, hickory, licorice and a hint of orange peel before a toasty finish. Bold and delicious.”
