Plasencia Reserva Original Cortez Cigars
For anyone even remotely familiar with premium cigars, the Plasencia name is synonymous with excellence. As one of the world’s most respected tobacco growers, Nestor Plasencia has long been the quiet force behind countless top-shelf brands. But when he chooses to release cigars under his own name, it’s something special—and the Plasencia Reserva Original Cortez is a shining example.
The standout story here is the tobacco itself. Grown organically in Nicaragua using traditional methods that date back over 500 years to the Nicarao Indians, this cigar is steeped in history and authenticity. Handcrafted at Plasencia Cigars, S.A. in Nicaragua, every leaf—wrapper, filler, and binder—is 100% Nicaraguan. That makes this a true Nicaraguan puro—and a remarkably good one at that. In fact, it earned an impressive 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado and landed a well-deserved spot on their Top 25 Cigars of 2022.
Each Plasencia Reserva Original Cortez is housed in an elegant wooden box and adorned with three striking gold and white bands, reflecting the refined craftsmanship inside. From the first draw, you’re met with thick clouds of white smoke and a welcoming combination of creamy sweetness and white pepper. As the cigar develops, notes of nuts, cereal, and baking spices emerge, all built around a spicy, earthy core that showcases the depth of aged Nicaraguan tobacco.
Smooth, medium-bodied, and full of character, the Cortez is a 5 ¾” x 56 perfecto that offers a beautifully rounded version of the blend’s profile. The vitola’s shape and size help enhance the balance of flavors, making each puff a rich, rewarding experience.
Ideal for intermediate to seasoned smokers, the Reserva Original Cortez delivers the premium Plasencia experience without the hefty price tag. It’s one of the most accessible cigars in the Plasencia lineup, offering incredible value without compromising quality. Pair it with bourbon, dark rum, or a strong coffee to highlight its nutty, spicy character. Fans of Nicaraguan legends like Flor de Las Antillas or Padron will find plenty to love here—and likely keep coming back for more.
Whether you're a loyal Plasencia enthusiast or simply searching for a standout smoke at a great value, the Plasencia Reserva Original Cortez is a reliable winner—every single time.
