I really wanted to like this cigar but alas its not for me. Even before I cut the cap I tried a dry draw and unexpectedly I could draw so I lit the cigar without cutting.
Even though I could draw it was a little tight so I clipped a small amount off the cap and then there was plenty of draw.
Medium + flavoured, woody with leather and some spice and maybe a touch of espresso.
The further you went down especially the last third and to the nub this was fairly nice just a bit too much spice for me.
I had to touch up only twice due to an uneven burn line but nothing too drastic, and removing the band was simple with no issues.
Would I buy it again ? probably not as it was a little overpowering for me but for those who like the spicier smoke this is for you.

Hands down the best cigar I’ve smoked to date. Just by looking at it it’s arguably the best looking cigar on the market. Beautifully constructed and pressed and well presented with the collar and foot bands. Flavour wise it’s bursting with flavour but still smooth. I actually smoked this one without a pairing as I wanted to experience the cigar on its own and wow it actually doesn’t need anything to complement it. It’s that good. By far my favourite so far. VERY Highly recommended a must try

This is a wonderful smoke. Very smooth all the way through but full of flavour. No harsh notes in the final third. Burnt extremely well. Excellent construction. Lovely level of smoke. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely keep a few of these in the humidor.

What a pleasant way to spend 60 minutes. No peeling, no wavy burn line, no touch-ups just a nice smooth smoke all the way to the nub.
Its an easy smoking cigar with plenty of ash and plumes of smoke, thoroughly enjoyable.
This cigar is to be enjoyed any time of day and by anyone even people who are new to cigars this would be ideal.
More needed in my humidor for sure.

What a lovely smooth smoke which remained consistent all the way to the nub, which for me as a slow smoker took 80 pleasurable minutes.
Plenty of smoke, good ash retention, burnt evenly all the way to the end. Removing all the bands when I got close to them with no issues.
That's how to build a great cigar. Will definitely get some more to add to my humidors.

Flavour for days! This was the third cigar I had tried from my first CGars New World subsription. I have to say it's easily the best cigar I have ever had in the short time I have been smoking, which went to prove to me that the subscriptions are a much better way to get to know cigars you like - especially when compared to what I'd been doing previously and randomly buying packs of cigars. The 149 has a deep dark taste with a lovely earthy smell that I could still smell two days later. Nicotine levels appear low, which is how I like my cigars. I used a V-cut. Stored it at 70. I smoked it over three separate sessions! I am quite a light smoker, but when I do smoke I like it dark and flavoursome. Can't wait to try more of the Plasencias. Bravo CGars.
