Plasencia Cosecha 146 La Musica

Produced from the 2011 harvest, this cigar marks the creation of a brand new range for Plasencia: "Cosecha". This word, meaning "harvest", is intended to recount the stories of these exceptional years.

The tobacco used here comes exclusively from fields belonging to the Plasencia family in Honduras (where the factory is located) and Nicaragua.

Notes

Its delicate, fine and slightly fragile coating will require careful cutting (preferably straight across) before you can enjoy the humble and delicate progression of the tasting, where the chocolate will subtly evolve towards discreet notes of old oak barrels. The coating is smooth and clear, with slightly visible veins.

In the first third, a hint of mint combines with milk chocolate and a pleasant woody roundness.

The second part of our taste adventure adds light spices and a touch of pepper to the ever-present chocolate. The evolution is smooth, marked by an aspect reminiscent of the smell of toasted brioche. The smoke is pleasant and dense.

The final third evolves subtly, revealing notes of aged wood with a hint of vanilla.

Pairing

A triple-fermented lager that adds roundness. We tasted it with a Gouda cheese.

About Plasencia

It was in 1865 that Don Eduardo Plasencia arrived on the island of Cuba with a single goal in mind: success. He soon had the opportunity to establish his first tobacco plantations in the Vuelta Abajo region.

A few years later, he was joined by his nephew and exported the family’s tobacco until 1963, when Cuban policy prevented them from continuing their work and confiscated their farms.

It was then time to expand into Mexico and later Nicaragua in 1965. Once again, the family had to relocate to Honduras following the Sandinista revolution.

1987 marked a turning point for the family, as it was in that year that they officially entered the cigar world by manufacturing their own vitolas.

Once solely tobacco growers for other companies, they are now among the leading figures in the cigar industry, having offered exceptional cigars for over 35 years.

Still owning fields in various Latin American countries, it continues to supply its tobacco to other cigar producers. This control over the production chain, from seed to cigar, enables it to guarantee impeccable quality across its entire range of cigars.
