The Plasencia Reserva Organica is the real deal. Well constructed, with a smooth and juicy draw. A natural cocoa/nutty flavor builds and blossoms. You can't go wrong with this one, and it's cheap enough to be a daily smoker. less

I was curious when I saw that these were certified organic, so set my sights on the 12 pack with travel humidor at the auction. Well I won! They came in today and I put away 11 and smoked the 12th one. Man, was I glad I won that auction! It is so smooth and nice with a mild bready flavor. It is definately a real treat. I reccomend it to any new smoker who wants a mild cigar with "taste". While it won't replace my Quintero maduro or Don Tomas maduro as a "go to" cigar, It is certainly my new "Special Ocassion" cigar. The only negative is that they are pricey, but even so they are worth it, although for my budget I'm better off trying to win them at auction. less

I am a big fan of full-bodied Dominican cigars (Avo, Fuente, Davidoff, etc.), and I have spent a good deal of time badmouthing Nigaraguan tocacco in my review of cigars on the Famous website. I was Wrong. I recieved a free 5-pack of these with my last $200 order, and my conclusion is that this cigar is absolutely outstanding. I rate it close to the communist-made Cohiba Robusto, which is in my opinion the best cigar avaialable anywhere (notwithstanding the country of origin). It is rated as a mild to meduium bodied cigar, but I think it is closer to full bodied. The flavor is slightly sweet but not overpoweringly so, and it has a great complex spicy aftertaste. I can't believe this is a non-cuban product, and at less than $5 when you buy from Famous in the five pack it is an absolute steal. Highly recommended! less

Bought this in a Famous sampler and let it sit for a couple of months. Really impressed. Too bad these reviews just drive the prices up haha. less

Just didn't work for me, the notes were not natural, and organic should not be in a cigar. It belongs in the health food store with the purple potato chips. less

I bought a 5-pack as a birthday present to myself -- and now I can't wait to purchase a 20-pack. This was just a wonderful, mellow smoke from start to finish -- a genuine delight. less

A.k.a. Barry Stats...the creator of acigarsmoker.com, is in my opinion a true cigar aficionado! I have found his reviews of many cigars to be spot on correct...he has the ability to put flavors into words. Except on this particular cigar, I'm sorry to say Barry...but your review of this cigar was doomed before it even started. You are as prejudice to this brand of cigar as is the KKK to our current president :-) I feel you just don't like the idea of organic period, and by not even giving it a low rating is evidence of that. Now...on the other hand, we have a guy by the name of Kent Surratt, I read his review of this cigar on cigar adviser, he claims that this cigar closely resembles the "Cuban Cohiba Robusto" in its heyday! Although I do strongly agree with Kent assessment that the Cuban Cohiba Robusto is no longer the cigar it once was, I respectfully disagree that this cigar could be compared with that cigar in anyway. So...we have one reviewer who pretty much hates it, and another who compares it to a Cuban legend! Well...like they say there is three sides to every story...here's the real side :-) first off...the presentation of this cigar is a class act. The construction....I would say, top-notch, a few veins, but nothing serious, well packed and no soft spots, and the cap is very neatly done. The pre-light...well first off, the cigar really captures and holds the characteristics of the Cedar sleeve, when I took a whiff of the foot, it had a wonderful scent of fresh and clean tobacco, a little sweet, and of course Cedar. Smoking the first half was great! As for flavor...again, a very fresh and clean tobacco and a little nutty with a slightly sweet finish. This cigar is a very smooth and mild one! If you're looking for complex flavors, this is definitely not the cigar for you. The last half before I finally put it down....was just as good as the first half, maybe a tad stronger, no harshness or bitterness at all! The burn on this cigar was razor-sharp the whole way through. To draw...was perfect. The ash...was a very light gray and well stacked! The aroma...was terrific with no ammonia scent. All in all...I give it a solid 90 out of a 100...a very decent cigar! less
