Here’s what I said about the Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica when I reviewed it in February 2024:

As Nestor Andrés Plasencia alluded to in discussing this blend, Honduran tobacco doesn’t always get the recognition and credit it deserves. The terroir can be a bit much for some palates, but when it’s done right—as it is here—the flavor is both distinct and clean without the dusty earth and roughness that appears in some lesser tobaccos from the country.

The flavor finds its footing right away and holds true to it, never trying to introduce flavors that aren’t part of the typical Honduran profile, while still managing to shift each component around in a way that gives the three main drivers its own third to shine. If you enjoy the kind of flavor profile that quality Honduran tobacco can deliver, this is definitely a cigar worth checking out, as it delivers that signature profile about as well as any other Honduran puro on the market, capped off with fantastic construction that makes it very easy to smoke and enjoy.

Having been tasked with smoking some larger cigars in recent weeks, getting to select a 5 x 50 robusto is refreshing. Even though I have smoked a fair amount of Plasencia cigars, the company’s use of three bands still surprises me, given how rarely the rest of the cigar industry uses the three-band approach. The cigar has a very even color, darker than medium brown and at times reminding me of a shade of chocolate. Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica

While the leaf isn’t particularly shiny, I can feel some oil on my fingers coating the texture of the leaf and some small veins. The cigar looks very good, and while it’s generally pretty firm, there is just a little bit of give. The foot has an aroma that is immediately engaging, reminding me of a meat-based dish with cooked tomatoes and some herbs. The cold draw is smooth and just a touch open, while the flavor is quite a bit different than the aroma. It’s thinner, drier and lacks the food comparison. Instead, I get tobacco leaves, some sweetness, and some light wood sensations. Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica

I’m a bit surprised by how smoky the Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica is right out of the gate, smelling like a charcoal grill that has been going for a while but still has plenty of life to it. I wouldn’t call it a peppery start, but the smoke does tingle my nostrils. If anything, it’s creamier than I would have anticipated, which makes the body of the smoke fairly full, while the finish on my taste buds leans to a thin, dry sensation. The flavor sheds some of its smokiness as the first inch progresses, replaced by some light terroir, something more than just generic earthiness due to its nuance and detail.

That terroir moves into the lead note, a medium-intensity sensation that gets accented by a bit of pepper, some potato chip oiliness, and what is hitting me as a very mellow sensation of dehydrated green apple. After a medium-plus flavor out of the gate, the flavor dials back to medium but seems to be building as the burn line reaches the midpoint, a similar trajectory to the body of the smoke, while the strength of the cigar is just beginning to touch medium-minus. Construction is fantastic and doesn’t present any issues. Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica

At the start of the second half, the smokiness is back, now more campfire than charcoal grill, as I get some charred wood on my taste buds. Retrohales are a good bit fuller than they were in the first half, with brighter, more defined black pepper that hits my nostrils with a more pointed sensation, and certainly one that isn’t shy about taking control of the experience. As the final third begins, the whole profile gets a bit fuller, though not necessarily heavier, an interesting change in how the smoke and overall experience interact with my senses.

The final two inches bring about a warm, nutty flavor, a new sensation for the Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica, and arguably the fullest that the cigar has been to this point. Things continue to slightly intensify as the end approaches, though the balance and enjoyability never suffer. Flavor finishes at a hearty medium-full, body is medium-plus, and strength is medium-minus. Smoking time wraps up at one hour and 45 minutes. Plasencia Cosecha 151 La Musica
