This cigar was not purchased from C. Gars but rather purchased in a box of 10 from a location abroad. Pictures available if they are requested to authenticate this review. Please note, I will copy and paste this review on the box of 10 as well as the review is completely valid.
The Plasencia Original Reserva was a cigar I’d been curious about for a while, especially since Plasencia has such a strong reputation for craftsmanship and sustainability. This blend is made entirely from organically grown Nicaraguan tobacco, and that purity really comes through in the flavor. On the cold draw, I picked up soft notes of cedar, hay, and a touch of natural sweetness. Once lit, the cigar offered smooth, creamy smoke carrying flavors of toasted nuts, wood, and gentle spice.
What I liked most about the Original Reserva was its harmony—it never felt harsh or overpowering, yet it still had enough flavor to keep me engaged. It’s a refined cigar that rewards slow, mindful smoking and showcases Plasencia’s attention to detail.
Overall, this cigar feels like a perfect introduction to the Plasen

A lovely mild any time of the day smoke. Burnt well although ash was prone to falling. I like this with a good coffee in the morning and would recommend.
Burn time is around an hour and have added them to my favourites

Sampled this cigar on 02.10.25 at the Cgars Event in Norfolk. This was a wonderful cigar with lots of flavours, good construction and easy draw..
Lots of tasting notes especially when paired with a Balenie Carribean cask whisky. A nice light smooth whisky brings out the rich sweet toffee and caramel flavours and notes.
Towards the end, one is met with a richer full bodied taste. Certainly one of the best I have tried from the Plasencia range. My only criticism was it didnt last long enough! (Ha Ha)
A wonderful cigar experience at a good price. Definitely one to have in the humidor as a regular go to. 10/10.
Thanks Billy and Josh for another great night. ;)

Super oily, coats the lips and fingers, smoke is brilliant white and super thick. Impressive looking cigar, beautiful dark wrapper. Really spicy with black pepper and a potent throat hit, lots of cedar alongside some roasted nut and strong espresso coffee. Impeccable construction, well packed so quite a tight draw, really needs a guillotine cut to open it up, ash held on for a good inch, slightly wavy burn but no corrections needed. Definitely worth buying a few of these.

Not the prettiest cigar I've ever seen but most definitely not the worst. Cut with a guillotine but it's a really open draw so probably go with a V. Decent amounts of pure white, quite dense smoke. Nothing overly complex flavour wise, quite spicy with black pepper and sweet cedar, surprisingly creamy as it develops, touch of leather and black coffee to finish. Burn wasn't razor sharp but zero touch ups needed, smoke was nice and cool and ashed every inch or so. An absolute bargain at the price, really quite impressive.
