Limited to 6000 boxes.

Tasting Notes:

91/100

“For a cigar, the Plasencia Year of the Rabbit demands significant investments. It’s expensive and takes a long time to smoke, but those two investments pay off. This is an incredibly dynamic and rich cigar. It’s to the point that I think if you can intentionally blend a cigar to perform like this, you’ve graduated to a certain stage of cigar-making that many never reach.”

More about the cigar:

“The Rabbit represents the perfect animal for these changing times for its ability to adjust during various times with grace and elegance,” said Nestor Andrés Plasencia, ceo of Plasencia 1865, in a press release when the cigar was announced. “I would also like to emphasize that since the rabbit is a symbol of longevity, our tobacco also improves over time to achieve those incredible flavors. We strongly feel that ‘The Year of the Rabbit’ cigar brand will accurately represent the Chinese New Year.”

The Plasencia Year of the Rabbit cigar is the third Zodiac release from this cigar producing family with over a century of history starting in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba and now residing in Nicaragua & Esteli.

The cigar celebrates the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year). Each year is represented by a character from the Chinese zodiac. This Year of the Rabbit is a Nicaraguan Puro which as always uses a variety of aged tobaccos.
