Quick Smoke: Nestor Plasencia Reserva Organica Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This cigar, which Nestor Plasencia Jr. calls “our baby,” is something of a surprise for a Nicaraguan puro: It’s considerably milder than most. I’ve smoked a handful and found them consistent and pleasant. Aging (a couple were in my humidor for nearly three years) seemed to have no effect, good or bad. A Famous Smoke exclusive, the Organica is worth a try if you like mild- to medium-bodied smokes.

Verdict = Buy.
