Posting this a week late for these. Plasencia Alma del Campo, I had this cigar earlier last week; can't remember if it was Saturday or Monday. Either way I really enjoyed it and decided to grab a box. Then last Friday I also had a Aganorsa Leaf Signature, while doing some late night VM Migrations. I was getting over the stomach flu that had been going around, on top of migrating a virtual SQL Cluster between Datacenters, so it was not a fun Friday night. But the Aganorsa really helped make it a better night!
Both brands were from the Contenders pack from 2Guys Cigras; they run a pack of contenders for their Cigar of the Year every year. Neither of these cigars were on my to try list and actually in the case of the Plasencia, I kind of had a bias of it being a lesser quality smoke. I thought Plasencia is or was one of the discount brands that the big online warehouses throw around in their samplers all the time. Honestly, I can't remember if I am thinking of the correct brand or if it just sounded or looked like Plasencia. Either way, I was of one thought when I heard that Alma del Campo was a decent smoke and I completely changed my mind when I did smoke it. I started to change my mind when I got the pack and actually saw the Alma del Camp, it just looked like great tobacco. Then the Aganorsa, one of their other lines was in the pack and actually was the cigar of the year. I found the Leaf Signature while looking at what else they had and while getting some more JFR Lunatics. I ended up liking them more than the Lunatics.
