Cigar Review for Plasencia Alma Del Campo
My Review
The draw is pretty good, the smoke output is good. Getting a little bit of spice right at the beginning. Not much. Maybe a little hint of nuttiness but barely perceptible.
I'm just about a half inch into this right now. Maybe an inch and the flavor ramps up. Very fast coming in strong and complex. Getting some serious lather some serious nut, also, just the slightest hint of floral.
A little bit further down and the flavors have mellowed out quite a bit. I'm actually getting a little bit of citrus now. Coming through. The construction is very good. Dried fruits are coming in a little bit stronger now.
Dried fruit is turning into leather now. This thing is just constantly changing flavors all the way through. Very interesting.
At the last third, it's ending on more of a milder note. Overall a very good spoke. Nice to have the flavor changed so much and get lots of different experiences to the whole thing.
