Let's cut to the chase about Plasencia's Cosecha 151 La Musica Robusto - this 5x50 Nicaraguan puro hits your humidor at $12.15 per stick. Born from the 2015 harvest (their 151st crop cycle since 1895), it wears an oily oscuro wrapper that looks like liquid obsidian. You're getting a box of 10 torpedoes that burn cleaner than most Hondurans, but make no mistake - that "Full" strength rating isn't just decorative.
Cold Draw: Straight-up cacao nibs with cedar undertones. Prelight aroma gives "tobacco shop backroom" vibes.
Black pepper sparks fly immediately - we're talking freshly cracked Tellicherry kind. Smoothens into caramel cream by the ½" mark. Watch that smoke output - medium volume but dense texture.
Espresso bitterness cuts through, balanced by dark cherry preserves. Ash holds solid 1.5" despite the box-press shape. Retrohale reveals cinnamon toast crunch effect.
Aged leather dominates as nicotine kicks in. Molasses sweetness lingers on lips after each puff. Quit before last inch unless you want tar buildup reminiscent of 90s Cuban machines.
Dry-box for 48 hours if you can't wait 3 years - tempers that initial pepper blast without dulling the cocoa core. Pairs brutally well with cold brew coffee or rye whiskey.
