First two thirds of this smooth creamy smoke was really enjoyable and with a consistent flavour and burn line and kept the ash fairly well.
Getting into the final third after 75 minutes all was still smooth. After the burn line got to within a few mm of the band I removed it to find a loose wrapper leaf underneath and from then on the smoke just got a lot spicier and not so enjoyable.
Smoked it pretty close to the nub (1hr 45 mins) its just the spice (nicotine) just got a little too much for me.
I will purchase another and keep in the humidor for a few months as this one was only in there for a week or so to see if it improves.

Read the previous reviews and was looking forward to smoking this cigar.
Nice smell to the cigar. Smoked via a punch cut, but needed to use the easy draw, as was a very tight draw before lit. Fair amount of smoke.
Canoed quickly and had to touch up, and burnt quickly as well, didn?t feel dry to the touch. Taste wasn?t brilliant, slightly bitter
Only lasted 30 mins
Won?t buy again

Beautiful looking cigar, smooth pale wrapper.
Smoked via a small punch cut. Lit well and burnt well to the end.
Lots of gorgeous sweet smelling smoke.
Minimal spice on the lips.
Nice cedar taste throughout. Good nicotine hit
Really enjoyed and will buy again.

Well constructed cigar. Nice cold draw. Smoked via a small punch cut.
Burnt reasonably well, held the ash well.
Good amount of smoke.
Almost no spice on the lips.
Tasted mostly of cedar, tiny amount of pepper.
Very easy smoke, probably best suited for a morning cigar.

I am a leisurely smoker and this lovely cigar lasted me 1hr and 50 minutes. Smoothness 9/10, flavour 9/10, build quality 10/10 ash retention on this is 11/10 it holds the ash like crazy which tells me that the build quality is great.
I smoked this with it being in my humidor for only a couple of weeks and will keep another for a few months and try it again.
Both bands came away very very easily.
The flavour I got was Smooth Tobacco, Wood, Leather and some expresso or very dark chocolate most of the way through.
A new smoker would enjoy this if smoked slowly also would be suitable for the faster smoker who like a bit of added spice (nicotine).
This is one to try for sure.

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.
