The Plasencia Cosecha 151 is the third release in the Cosecha line. The tobaccos used in this blend come from the 151 crop of the Plasencia family, which was harvested in 2016 in Honduras. In Spanish, “cosecha” means “harvest”. The La Tradición vitola of the Cosecha 151 line delivers a rich, intense, and full-bodied smoke that is perfectly balanced with the strength level.
A mix of spices gives way to the smoke, joined by nuts, seasoned wood, and vegetal nuances. A roasted coffee bean aroma is added later on, with the smoke becoming balsamic and spicier towards the end.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
