The Plasencia Alma del Campo is a true delight for the senses, deserving of no less than a full five-star rating. This premium cigar is a Nicaraguan puro, a particular favorite for those of us who have a soft spot for the deep, earthy notes that Nicaraguan tobacco provides.
The medium to full-bodied profile is an inviting venture slightly beyond my usual preference for medium strength cigars, providing a captivating complexity without being overpoweringly strong. This cigar is a testament to the art of balance in cigar crafting.
The flavor palette is a symphony that plays wonderfully to my personal preferences. The sweet undertones elegantly interlace with prominent coffee notes that are both comforting and invigorating. The cigar continues to impress with its creamy finish, reminiscent of coconut notes, one of my personal favorites.
Subtle cedar nuances add a touch of sophistication and depth to the overall flavor profile, rounding out the experience beautifully. The blend is beautifully consistent, providing an earthy backbone that stays true from start to finish.
The construction is impeccable, a standard for Plasencia, contributing to an excellent burn and draw. The experience is further heightened by the choice of a notch cut, which seems to bring out the best in this blend.
In conclusion, the Plasencia Alma del Campo offers an incredibly satisfying smoking experience, masterfully ticking all the boxes of my personal preferences. It's a cigar that stands out not only for its superior quality but also for the harmony of its flavor notes. A must-try for any aficionado.
