“With CI's vast inventory of great cigars available, I occasionally like to try something new. The Plasencia Reserve 1898 was an example. After smoking the first stick, I read the expert review and once again agreed with the 90 rating, and pretty much what was written. The best point about this cigar was the phrase "full-flavored, not full strength." Agree 100% with the great range of powerful flavors, especially earth for the first 2 thirds of the cigar. The flavor reminded me very much of another new cigar I've grown to really like: Legado de Pepin. Summary: try it and you will not be disappointed...and don't be surprised if this cigar starts becoming more plentiful in your humidor.”
