Tasting Notes

Honeyed Cedar – Warm, naturally sweet wood
Cream – Smooth, velvety texture
Toasted Nuts – Almond and cashew depth
White Pepper – Soft, elegant lift

First Impressions

Beautifully presented with a silky, golden-hued Honduran wrapper and firm, even bunching. Pre-light aroma gives honey, cedar, and light pastry notes. Cold draw is ideal — just enough resistance with immediate sweetness and cream.

Smoking Experience

First Third – Opens creamy and refined. Cedar and honey glide effortlessly with cool smoke and razor-straight burn.
Second Third – Nuts and gentle spice layer in, building complexity without increasing strength. Balance is excellent and very “Plasencia elegant.”
Final Third – Still flavorful and smooth but requires one relight near the end. After that, it finishes clean with no bitterness or harshness.

Pairings

Alcohol – Redbreast 12 Year Irish Pot Still Whiskey - Honey, orchard fruit, and soft spice perfectly echo the cigar’s creamy sweetness and toasted nut profile.
Tea – Chinese Yingde Hong Cha (Guangdong Black Tea) - Cocoa-leaning malt and natural sugarcane sweetness enhance the cigar’s smooth, honeyed character.

Music Pairing

“Estate” – Bruno Martino
Smooth, late-night elegance that mirrors the cigar’s creamy flow.

Final Thoughts

Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Música is refined, creamy, and beautifully balanced — a calm, elegant smoke with natural sweetness and polish. One relight near the end is the only interruption in an otherwise excellent experience.

Final Score: 9/10
Why not a 10?
Single relight in the final third prevented a completely seamless performance.

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
