Plasencia Cosecha 149 La Vega Robusto

90/100
- Cigar Aficionado

"This dark robusto is made with an oily wrapper and rough head. It begins with hearty notes of black pepper and cedar, but soon settles down, showing earth and coffee notes along with hints of baking spices before a slightly ashy finish. It draws and burns evenly."

About the cigar:

The Plasencia Cosehca 149 honors the Plasencia family’s 149th crop of tobacco, which was harvested in 2014. It is a similar concept to the Plasencia Cosecha 146, which was released in 2017, and while using Honduran tobacco for the wrapper and part of the filler, also used Nicaraguan tobacco for the binder as well as part of the filler. This time, however, the cigar is a Honduran puro.
