Cigar Profile:
The Plasencia Reserva Original Corona Corta is a short masterpiece from one of Nicaragua’s most respected cigar families.
A beautifully balanced, medium-bodied Nicaraguan organic cigar made with 100% certified organic tobacco. One of the best Short Corona cigars, this delivers refined flavours of cedar, cocoa, leather, and subtle spice, wrapped in a silky smooth Connecticut leaf. Perfectly sized for a satisfying 20 to 25 minute smoke, it’s an excellent everyday cigar that doesn’t compromise on quality.
As well as this short corona sized cigar, the range also includes a Robusto, Toro, Nestica and Cortes.
The Plasencia Reserva Original Cigar range consists of the only cigars in the world that are made with 100% Certified Organic Tobacco. Indeed, Plasencia is the only OCIA-certified organic tobacco company. The Reserva Original line is also a testament to Plasencia’s commitment to sustainability, using no pesticides or artificial fertilisers.
Plasencia Cigars was founded by Don Eduardo Plasencia. Don Eduardo emigrated from the Canary Islands in 1865 to Cuba and began to grow tobacco. The farm remained in the Plasencia family until it was confiscated by Fidel Castro’s regime in 1963.
Don Elder Sixto and his family fled to Mexico, landing in Nicaragua in 1965, where he planted some of his best tobacco seeds. During more political unrest, the farms were burned by the Sandinistas in 1978, and the family fled to Honduras. Nestor Plasencia Sr. joined the industry in 1987, and by 1990, the family had re-established operations in Nicaragua.
Plasencia Cigars is now the world’s largest tobacco grower and produces cigars for over 30 very well-known premium cigar brands, including Rocky Patel and Alec Bradley. The company launched the first cigars under the Plasencia brand in 2017.
What sets Plasencia apart is its “seed-to-smoke” philosophy: it controls every aspect of production, from planting and harvesting to ageing, blending, and hand-rolling.
Whether you’re new to Plasencia or a long-time admirer, the Reserva Original Corona Corta is an outstanding choice for anyone who appreciates organic, well-balanced and flavourful Nicaraguan cigars.
This medium-bodied Nicaraguan organic cigar offers a clean, creamy and well-balanced smoke. In the first third, it delivers notes of milk chocolate, toasted nuts, cedar and subtle sweetness with hints of caramel and citrus peel. The cold draw shows almond, honey and soft spice.
In the middle third, the profile deepens with cocoa, malt, more cedar, and gentle baking spices on the retrohale. The final third brings earthier notes, nuttiness and a touch of leather.
Try with a lighter style of coffee, a good Bourbon, like Noah’s Mill or try with your favourite dark chocolate.
