Flavour & draw
Opens with sweet cedar and roasted hazelnut, followed by cocoa powder, espresso and toasted brioche. The mid-palate brings nutmeg, gentle baking spice and dried stone fruit, finishing with leather and a warm, savoury Honduran earthiness. Smoke is thick yet refined, with a straight burn and an effortlessly easy draw.

"FLAVOR PROFILE: Plasencia Cosecha 149 is a rich, balanced puro and our first all-Honduran cigar. All the leaves were grown in the fertile Honduran regions of Olancho, the Jamastran Valley, and Talanga, acquiring a deep, well-fermented character while aging since being harvested in 2014. Plasencia Cosecha 149 is a full-bodied, medium- to full-strength cigar balanced by distinct notes of cream, dark chocolate, and a subtle yet earthy hint of cedar." -Plasencia
"This dark robusto is made with an oily wrapper and rough head. It begins with hearty notes of black pepper and cedar, but soon settles down, showing earth and coffee notes along with hints of baking spices before a slightly ashy finish. It draws and burns evenly." - Cigar Aficionado, 90 Points
