This stick always comes to mind when I think about cigar bands. I got these YEARS ago in a CI sampler, this was towards the beginning of my cigar odyssey and I had never heard of Plasencia before so I took them at face value and stuffed em in the humi for a rainy day. Fast forward like 7 or 8 years and that rainy day came and I got tired of looking at these ridiculous things, I mean... they look like an advertisement for a Sandals resort or some such nonsense. One of the best, most balanced smokes I’ve ever had. These sticks are still around but they’ve been rebranded as the Reserva Original and have forsaken the Floridian tourist trap color scheme in favor of a more traditional band (probably for the best) but this was when I learned that some of the best experiences are going to require equal parts “f it” and time.
