For more than five generations, the Plasencia family have been known as some of the best tobacco growers the world over. They have been manufacturing cigars that are known for their quality for just as long. Although not a household name (yet), you’ve likely seen their handiwork in brands like Rocky Patel, Gurkha, & Romeo y Julieta, just to name a few. A few years ago, the Plasencias decided they wanted their moment in the limelight and launched the exceptional super-premium Plasencia cigars. It was designed as a vehicle to showcase their talents as tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers. One of their first releases was the Plasencia Reserva Organica, which has become the Plasencia Reserva Original, one of their best sellers.

Smoke a Plasencia Reserva Original and you’ll understand why this is one of the company’s most popular lines. It offers a more accessible price point without sacrificing the quality and flavor that people have come to expect from the brand. The blend is fairly straightforward, and in the typical Plasencia way, a closely guarded family secret. All they are willing to divulge is that the Plasencia Reserva Original is a Nicaraguan Puro. The cigar is medium in strength and features tasting notes of nuts, fruits, and caramel with hints of marzipan and cedar. While this cigar may be at the lower end of Plasencia’s price spectrum, it punches far above its weight class.
