This review is as much about the Cuban Cohiba Robusto, as it is about the Plasencia Organica Robusto. Fact is, the Cuban Cohiba Robusto used to be in the number one position of my personal top ten cigars in the world today. The problem is the Cubans have changed something in the original make up of the cigar. The Cubans have successfully taken one of the world's best cigars and reduced it to less than many budget cigars available today. My impressions of the new Cuban Cohiba, "total disappointment."
The best piece of advice I could give any premium cigar smoker is this: The next time you're at a "Pacific Cigar Shop," or at any of the duty free outlets in the international airports today, and are seriously considering laying down the 750 bucks for a box of these cigars, you should consider saving your money, and buy a box of the Plasencia Organica Robustos. The Placensia's are the closest thing I have smoked to date that actually compare to the former "Cuban Cohiba Robustos."
Personally I think virtually every cigar in the world is a little hit and miss. The Plasencia's are no exception. But when you hit on a good box of these cigars, you really hit, and when you miss, there still pretty good cigars.
