This is a really excellent cigar! The taste is very good, smooth at first and finishing really well when it gets down to the darker wrapper at the end. I have bought four, smoked three and have just ordered another four. I finished this one in about 45 minutes, sitting in the august sunshine with a negroni. Superb!

Smooth earthy and a little peppery but fairly 1 dimensional. The flavours never really developed and I smoked it all the way down.
I received this as part of my monthly subscription and only had it in the humidor for 2-3 weeks, maybe it needed longer.
Not a bad smoke and an affordable cigar of this size but I'm unlikely to return to it.

These have long been one of my favourite cigars to enjoy with an afternoon coffee. The classic Cuban flavour is smooth, rich, and never disappoints in taste.
Unfortunately, my most recent 5-pack was a letdown. Every stick had a tight draw and required frequent relighting, which took away from the overall experience. It’s a shame, because when they’re good, they’re truly excellent — but the inconsistent quality control makes it a gamble.

Flawless construction, wrapper is quite veiny but nice looking and oily to touch, nice cold draw with just a touch of resistance using a guillotine cut. Probably the sharpest burn I've seen in a long time, absolutely razor sharp. Ash holds on for 2-3cm revealing a perfect cone, zero relights or corrections needed. Somke is a touch thin but lovely and cool, fairly straightforward flavour with spicy black pepper upfront alongside wood and leather, some subtle sweetness in the background, no strength and light to low medium body. A absolute steal at this price point.

I hate typing up unfavourable reviews, but I think I got unlucky. Let me first stress that this review is unique in as far as it's the first to have been remotely negative as CGars.com have never let me down prior. Sadly this Plascencia was poor from the first cut using a V Cut with a good branded cutter. The wrapper basically fell to pieces and the smoke ended up being tarry and ridiculously harsh. I've had plascencia on many occasions and this surprised me as I've never had a poor one. What you must understand is that cigars are like cars, every now and again you get a lemon. Just to confirm the cigar was kept in my humidor at the perfect humidity and temp.

For a sub £20 cigar, this is fantastic. A bit tight on the draw (which doesn't bother me, but I could see it bothering others) but otherwise well constructed. Wrapper in particular seems very robust.
Taste wise you're looking at medium+ with dark chocolate and some leather. Deceptively smooth. If you like a stronger cigar but aren't a fan of pepper notes you'd like this.
Forgot to time the session, but 40\45 mins seems right.
Will buy again
