Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica

The Plasencia Cosecha 151 series is another heartfelt record of the Plasencia family's long history of tobacco cultivation. "Cosecha" means "harvest," and "151" symbolizes the family's 151st tobacco harvest since 1865. This cigar is made entirely from top-quality tobacco leaves harvested in 2016 from their own farms in Honduras. The La Musica specification uses a balanced Robusto size, designed to precisely release the silky, nuanced flavors of aged tobacco leaves through this classic physical structure.

Flavor Ladder

Initial notes: Upon lighting, the initial aroma presents a mellow, creamy sweetness with a light cedarwood scent. Thanks to the full aging of the 2016 tobacco leaves, the initial smoke is very smooth, accompanied by a subtle nutty aroma and a hint of spice, with an overall strength ranging from medium to strong. Mid-course: As the burn progresses, the flavor profile unfolds. The aftertastes of dark chocolate and espresso begin to emerge, interspersed with the earthy aroma characteristic of Honduran tobacco. The oiliness becomes more pronounced in the mid-course, presenting an extremely balanced and non-aggressive complexity. Finish: As we move towards the end, the aroma becomes increasingly rich and full-bodied. The combination of toasted bread and dark flavors becomes more cohesive, with a pure and long finish. Even when drawn down to the fingertips, the smoke maintains an exceptional coolness and structural stability, showcasing the depth and character expected of top-aged tobacco.
