Plasencia Cosecha 149 La Vega Robusto (5x52 / Box 10)

Plasencia Cosecha 149 celebrates another chapter in the Plasencia family’s long-standing tobacco-growing heritage. Following the Cosecha 146, the Cosecha 149 was created to highlight the family’s 149th tobacco harvest, cultivated in 2014, with an emphasis on the character of Honduran-grown tobacco.

Crafted as a Honduran puro, Cosecha 149 features Honduran tobacco throughout its wrapper, binder, and filler. The tobaccos are aged before rolling to allow their individual characteristics to develop and complement one another, resulting in a rich, tobacco-forward expression of the Plasencia family’s Honduran crops.

Generally full-bodied, Plasencia Cosecha 149 offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of dark chocolate, cream, earth, cedar, roasted nuts, black pepper, and natural tobacco sweetness. Creamier and cocoa-like nuances help balance the blend’s woody, earthy, and spicy characteristics as the cigar develops. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, and smoking characteristics may vary.

The preceding Plasencia Cosecha 146 received a published 92-point rating and No. 24 placement on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2018. These accolades apply to Cosecha 146 rather than Cosecha 149, and published ratings and rankings represent the opinions of the respective publication and should not be interpreted as guarantees of quality or individual experience.

For adult cigar enthusiasts who appreciate Honduran puros and fuller-bodied, tobacco-forward blends, Plasencia Cosecha 149 offers an appealing combination of cocoa-like richness, creamy nuances, earthy depth, cedar, and warming spice while commemorating a notable harvest in the Plasencia family’s tobacco-growing history.
