Plasencia Cosecha 151

Plasencia 151 (officially the Cosecha 151) is a bold, full-bodied Honduran puro that stands as a monumental celebration of the family's deep agricultural roots. In Spanish, "Cosecha" translates directly to "harvest," and this specific release was blended to commemorate the Plasencia family’s 151st consecutive harvest of premium tobacco, which took place in 2016. Sourcing exclusively from their private Honduran estates, the Master Blenders crafted this celebratory puro to showcase the rich, robust terroir that the family has been cultivating in Honduras since 1895. By utilizing heavily fermented wrappers, binders, and fillers entirely from that historic 2016 crop, they created a deeply complex profile that commands attention.

When you light up a Plasencia Cosecha 151, the tasting notes offer a heavy, dessert-like experience that seasoned smokers will absolutely love. The cold draw provides immediate hints of dark, natural sweetness. Once lit, the flawless Honduran wrapper and densely packed filler core release thick, full-bodied waves of rich dark chocolate, roasted pecans, and distinct notes of sweet prune. Despite its full strength profile, the careful fermentation of the 2016 harvest ensures that the smoke remains incredibly smooth and balanced on the palate, completely avoiding any harsh or overly aggressive spice on the finish.

This blend is highly sought-after because crafting a true single-vintage puro—where every leaf is sourced from one specific harvest year—is an incredibly difficult feat that only the most resourceful tobacco families can achieve. A striking detail about the 151 cigar is its presentation: the dark, oily wrappers are contrasted by bright golden rings, and they arrive in a sleek, minimalist black box with golden accents that perfectly match the celebratory nature of the blend. To ensure these heavily fermented Honduran wrappers remain in pristine condition, we bypass traditional middlemen. Through our factory-fresh sourcing model and strict 70/70 climate control, we ship every elegant box straight from our aging room to your door.

Pairing & Recommendations

To beautifully complement the dark chocolate, roasted pecan, and sweet prune tasting notes of this full-bodied Honduran puro, we highly recommend pairing it with a heavy, barrel-aged stout, a rich port wine, or a sweet, aged dark rum. The roasted malt of the beer or the dark fruit notes of the port will perfectly balance the robust strength of the Honduran filler, allowing the decadent sweetness of the 2016 vintage wrapper to truly shine. This is a heavy, commanding companion, making it the absolute perfect substitute for dessert after a rich, savory dinner.

Given the deeply fermented, oily nature of this vintage Honduran wrapper, use a razor-sharp double-guillotine cutter to cleanly remove the cap without pinching the head of the cigar. Toast the foot very patiently with a soft flame or hold your torch lighter a few inches away to avoid shocking the dense 2016 harvest tobaccos. Maintain a slow, rhythmic drawing cadence; puffing too fast will cause the full-bodied core to overheat, which can easily mask the smooth, dessert-like nuances that make this celebratory blend so spectacular.
