Plasencia Reserva Organica Nesticos 4x36
Well I now have a new "quick break" cigar that is replacing my beloved Hemingway Short Stories and Oliva Special G's. While the Short Stories will always have a special place in my humidor and I will always keep some on hand, it always seems like a waste to puff down a $5 cigar in 15 minutes. When I have time, I can stretch them out to 20 or 30 minutes and truly enjoy all the earthy flavors. But I'm talking about when I don't have that much time yet still have to have a cigar. Along came the little Nesticos.
The Plasencia Nesticos consist of the same 3yr aged 100% organically grown Nicaraguan tobaccos as their larger cousins. I have several boxes of the larger vitolas and smoke them one on occasion always enjoying the truly natural flavors. It's kinda cool thinking that this may be close to what cigars were like a couple hundred years ago, no pesticides, old world traditional drying and aging and best of all they were puros, as blending, especially with foreign tobaccos was not as prevalent.
The little Nesticos have all the good qualities of their big brothers but of course burn just a little hotter thereby slightly changing the flavors with a little more dry grassiness. Still, they are spicey with a good finish, burn evenly, hold a good ash and are less than half the price of a Short Story and slightly less than a Special G.
