Plasencia: Reserva Original Nestico Cigars

The roots of the Plasencia family's cigar tradition stretch back to 1865, when Eduardo Plasencia migrated to Cuba to cultivate tobacco. Over the following decades, the Plasencia family moved across Central America, founding farms in both Honduras and Nicaragua. Despite the success of their tobacco farms, the Plasencias never made cigars, deciding instead to sell their tobacco to prestigious cigar brands. However, in 2017, the fifth generation of Plasencia growers, Néstor Andrés Plasencia, ventured into the world of crafting premium cigars. Today, Plasencia is one of the most venerated names in the industry, boasting an expansive portfolio that fully utilizes their exquisite leaf.

Plasencia is the only tobacco grower in the world that is certified by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), and the Reserva Original series takes full advantage of that prestigious status. One of the only blends in the world made entirely from organic-certified tobacco, the Reserva Original is a Nicaraguan puro that features leaf from Plasencia's farms in Estelí and Jalapa. Furthermore, the Reserva Original is a light to medium-bodied smoke that offers a complex array of sweet, creamy, and peppery flavors for one to appreciate.
