Plasencia Reserva 1898 Selection Sampler - 3 Cigars

Plasencia Cigars, the leading producer of premium cigars and the largest producer of tobacco in Central America, was awarded 1st place in a consumer cigar blind tasting held by Manuel’s, one of the finest and most renowned cigar shops in Zürich, Switzerland. The award was conferred for its Alma del Campo Tribu cigar, one of the company's first brand name cigars to be introduced to the market.

Cigars were reviewed and judged on a preliminary maximum 50-point scale based on their processing and construction (10 points), aroma and taste (20 points), smoke (10 points), and overall quality (10 points).

In the final round, Alma Del Campo and Cohiba Robusto were then rated by approximately 100 consumers under the same categories.

Plasencias goal is to use the best leaves of aged tobacco exclusively in their cigars leaving them in the hands of the best collaborators in the fields and artists of the factories.

Plasencia's best and most exclusive aged tobacco is used for this series, the tobacco is aged for at least 10 years.

Plasencia Reserva 1898 vaunts its goodness in every way. The leaves are derived from the finest tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Honduras. The result is a full-flavoured delight, with chocolate notes hitting the palate at first. This flavour profile is laced with hints of walnut, dried figs and leather, followed by subtle notes of pepper.
