Marking the first Honduran puro to break into Plasencia’s top-rated portfolio, these treats are rolled at the famous Tabacos de Oriente cigar factory in Honduras with aged long fillers from the Jamastran, Olancho, and Talanga regions followed by a hearty Jamastran binder and seamlessly dressed in a top-shelf Olancho San Agustin wrapper leaf boasting a beautiful dark-chocolate hue. Once one puts a flame to the foot, they’re treated with an unbelievably smooth medium-full bodied smoke with lush notes of spice, leather, coffee beans, cocoa, and earth that dance on the palate with harmonious balance.
The Plascencia brand began back in the 1860s when one of the company’s forefathers left the Canary Islands to begin growing tobacco in Cuba. Their story is one of perseverance, with the family being forced out of Cuba and into Nicaragua due to political turmoil and, again, out of Nicaragua and into Honduras. By the time the 1980s rolled around, Nestor Plascencia installed operations in both Nicaragua and Honduras, cementing the family’s legacy as a true expert of the world’s best post-Cuban tobacco growing hotspots.
As an industry leader, Plascencia became the first and only OCIA certified organic growing company, meaning that their tobacco meets stringent standards for purity. Alongside those efforts, they are a leader in water conservation efforts in their factories and took the incredible step of opening a childhood learning center and a daycare for all of their employees. In 2017, the company started an exclusive line of cigars bearing the Plascencia name. Given their history, they had to meet the astronomical standards set for the company by all those who came before and left a lasting legacy on the brand. Their empire produces more than 40 million cigars per year, but the Cosecha line is a testament to their ability to think small while also thinking big. Few brands can masterfully take advantage of a beautiful harvest like Plascencia can, which is why the 149 is among the best sellers in our extensive library of cigars.
