Plasencia Reserva Original Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 26 August, 2023 by GENEVIEVE

This cigar is very well constructed with a solid wrapper, binder and filler that all come together to make a very consistent smoke that doesnt burn too hot and offers respectable plumes of smoke. I smoked using a punch cut and got a consistent draw on it for a 60-minute smoke, no re-lighting required. Ash holds well, only departing after reaching about 1.5 inches. Not particularly flavoursome but I do generally prefer richer cigars. However, the flavour was pretty consistent and offered pleasant toasted almond, almost butter-biscuit type notes. Enjoyed it with a coffee after dinner but it could just as easily be enjoyed as a morning smoke or afternoon treat. Its a good-looking cigar so would make a great gift without breaking the bank, especially for someone new to cigar smoking who might get nic-sick from a stronger smoke.

Really enjoyable smoke! My palette isn’t refined enough to offer tasting notes but it had a great draw and burn. Held the ash brilliantly, even outdoors. It looks great and tasted better. Slight unravelling of the wrapper leaf around the cap but that may be a result of an over zealous cut on my behalf - created no problems smoking though. Would definitely recommend.

With a slight oily wrapper and delicious vanilla hit on the cold draw, this cigar had promises of luxurious and complex flavours. I found this not to be the case, with the first third being overwhelmed by strong black pepper and leather, and the whole cigar having a generic woodiness that only really developed into a slight cedar note towards the very end. I had two very brief hints of coffee in the final third and I couldnt detect any of the sweetness or vanilla hints I got on the cold draw at all. What it did have in abundance was a consistent smooth smoke that was quite luxurious and the construction and burn was impeccable only requiring a one touch up to realign where the band had been (I have a theory that these huge bands are causing distortion due to imperfect humidification). Overall I wasnt disappointed by this cigar, I suppose I was just expecting a bit more in the way of flavour complexity and this was a bit two dimensional. If you enjoy a very strong wood flavour in your smoke you should give this one a try, it might be what you are looking for.

First two draws a little sharp followed by some nuttiness After that the smoke became very smooth. Would recommend.

I loved this cigar. Burned great and gave great flavour that developed perfectly throughout the smoke.

Very smooth smoke with a nice balance of nutty and sweet smoke. This cigar definitely has a prominent cocoa note, overall a very rounded smoke. Perfect for an afternoon in the garden with a large coffee. Smoked one upon delivery and will be ageing the rest to see the difference. Would recomend to any seasoned smoker and new smoker alike. Fantastic cigar.
