Plasencia Reserva 1898 Robusto Review

[rondogg]

Alright here goes my review

 

First off, this is unlike an of the Plasencias I have ever tasted - I expected pepper tastes, uneven burn but heck no - this bad boy smokes smooth until the last bit which I of course put on a toothpick, that's how much I enjoyed this 

The cigar smelled rich and sweet, like hay and cedar.

The first few puffs were smooth and tasted like cocoa and pepper. As I smoked more, I could taste leather and almonds. The smoke was creamy and thick, and it lingered on my tongue. The cigar burned evenly, and the ash held on tight.

In the second third, the flavors changed.

The pepper mellowed out, and I could taste caramel and dried fruit. There was also a hint of earth and spices. The draw was still perfect, and the burn was still even - the construction of this cigar seems impeccable

The final third was the best part. The flavors deepened, and I could taste dark chocolate and roasted coffee. The leather flavor was stronger, and it added a nice touch. The burn got a little warm near the end, but it didn't ruin the experience. The cigar was rich and full-bodied, and I couldn't wait to smoke another one.

 

Unfortunately, they only had the last cigar left at the lounge - all in all freaking great experience

 

10/10 will try again
