Plasencia Reserve 1898 Robusto

Yet another cigar from the brand favoured by many cigar manufacturers. As explained earlier, Plasencia spent many years producing tobacco for the biggest brands currently on the cigar market. It was only later that the family began developing its own cigars, a venture whose success has often been praised by enthusiasts.

This Robusto from the Reserve 1898 range is a cigar that is as pleasant as it is charming. The perfect companion for an hour or so of relaxation with a fruity cocktail and a good book.

Its notes of hazelnut, chocolate and cedar become more pronounced as you smoke it, with distinct aromas of leather and roasted beans. The blend of leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras, combined with impeccable construction, is sure to make for a thoroughly enjoyable experience…

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.
