Santa brought me the Plasencia Reserva Original sampler and since it's not that warm in my outdoor man cave, I thought I'd start with the smallest of the bunch, the robusto.

With all the wood burnt up, a nice range of grassy flavors reveals itself, with a hint of spices and herbs here and there.

Near the end of the first third, the cigar starts to flex its muscles with a bite of pepper and some leathery flavors.

The draw is a bit tight but the burn is very straight and there is plenty of smoke to go around.
