Plasencia Reserva Original

Plasencia Reserva Original represents a historic milestone in the tobacco industry. Drawing from over 150 years and five generations of family heritage, the Master Blender set out to recreate the exact flavor profile that Europeans encountered when they first tasted tobacco in the New World. Whether you type it perfectly or quickly search for a Placencia Reserva Original cigar, you are looking at the world's first and only cigar made entirely with certified organic tobacco. Every leaf is grown under strict Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) standards, meaning the fields are completely pesticide-free and insecticide-free.

The tasting notes of these Plasencia Reserva Original cigars are heavily influenced by the rich Nicaraguan terroir. Utilizing purely organic Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler, the factory carefully balances the seco and ligero leaves to create a highly enjoyable mild-medium profile. Right from the first puff, you are greeted with a nutty smoke featuring distinct flavors of caramel, cedar, peanuts, and freshly baked bread, backed by subtle hints of leather. Throughout the session, the draw remains effortless, and the burn is razor-sharp, a testament to the rigorous standards of the Plasencia family.

This sought-after line was originally known as Reserva Organica before its rebranding, and true aficionados appreciate the purity of these Plasencia cigars Reserva Original releases. Because these 100% organic leaves are naturally delicate, proper storage is absolutely non-negotiable. We keep every single box resting in our strict 70/70 climate control environment. When you order from us, your cigars leave our aging room and arrive at your door completely factory-fresh.

Pairing & Recommendations

To complement the rich cedar and nutty tasting notes, pair this mild-medium puro with a freshly brewed shot of espresso or a neat pour of a delicate aged rum. The natural sweetness of the rum or the roasted bitterness of the coffee perfectly cuts through the creamy, bread-like flavors of the Nicaraguan filler. This specific pairing is highly recommended for a relaxing mid-morning or early afternoon session in the lounge.

When it comes to preparing this cigar, use a sharp, straight cut to keep the head intact and preserve the natural oils. When lighting, take your time to gently toast the foot from a distance to avoid scorching the organic wrapper. Take slow, measured puffs rather than rushing the process. A steady pace keeps the draw cool and the burn even, allowing you to fully appreciate the clean, natural tobacco flavors from the first third all the way down to the nub.
