Description
The Plasencia Cosecha 151 is a bold cigar brimming with flavor and intensity. It begins with notes of roasted coffee and pecans, and the smoke continues with notes of dark chocolate and prunes, culminating in hints of cinnamon and oak. Not only is this a full-bodied cigar, but 100% Honduran. This distinctive cigar commemorates the 151st continuous harvest (cosecha) the Plasencias have accomplished, beginning in the year 1865.

Initial Thoughts
It’s not often that Plasencia launches a new cigar line. But today we’re taking a look at their latest blend, the Plasencia Cosecha 151 which was blended to commemorate their 151st year in business.
The Plasencia Cosecha 151 San Diego Corona is a fantastic-looking cigar. The Honduran wrapper leaf is perfectly pressed and smooth, and this cigar has not a single visual flaw. Before cutting the cigar, the tobacco smelled leafy and earthy and, in a good way, like fertilizer. After cutting the cigar, the cold draw flavors were of wood shavings.
Is this woody and leathery cigar a good addition to the “cosecha” line? Will the Plasencia Cosecha 151 San Diego Corona be worth almost $15? Let’s find out.

Final Thoughts
After smoking the Plasencia Cosecha 151 San Diego Corona for right about an hour, my only complaint is a minor one – that the cigar got a little warm toward the end.
Regarding the flavors, they’re fantastic. The Plasencia Cosecha 151 is spicy with hints of leather and cedar. I smoked two of these cigars, and both left me wanting another one. Although it might be a little expensive, I really enjoyed this blend.
