I know you must be thinking…….TWO STARS? What gives? I’m admitting I haven’t tried the $40 Plasencia Year of the Tiger and probably won’t. If and when you do, please let us know if its worth the steep price, My reasoning is is simple. When I read the company’s overall description below, my first thought was about the many, many, many medium bodied very tasty cigars available at a fraction of this one’s cost.
Plasencia Cigars CEO Nestor Andres Plasencia tells us this much about this very pricy edition: “Smooth and flavorful is the best way I can describe the Year of the Tiger. This medium strength cigar delivers notes of chocolate, nuts, and some initial spiciness.”
Even using 10 year old tobacco to make it, I’m still wondering if the sizzle is enough to sell the steak so to speak. With a total production of 2500 boxes, lets see just how long they’re around and what the reviews are from people that smoke them.

Worth every penny! I’m typically a full bodied cigar smoker. Given the rarity of this stick, I had to try it. Then I immediately bought two boxes and I’m looking for more. I’m making room in my humidor for all I can get. Rich cocoa, light pepper, baking spices, earth, and leather. Rich, oily smoke gives a lush mouth feel. Aroma is aged tobacco in thick coils of oily white smoke. This is the medium body cigar by which all others can be measured.
