Storage Instructions
For the PLASENCIA Reserva Nuevo Sampler (6) store the cigars in a dedicated humidor to preserve aroma and construction. Aim for a stable relative humidity between 65% and 68% and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC). Those conditions suit the Nicaraguan grown tobaccos and medium to full body profile of the Reserva Nuevo line and help maintain wrapper elasticity and a smooth draw. Keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to avoid fluctuations. If you do not have a full humidor use a sealed travel humidor or a container with a two way humidity pack until you can transfer them to long term storage. Avoid refrigerating or freezing cigars and do not store them in plastic bags for extended periods because that can trap moisture unevenly and dull flavor.
Care Tips
Handle the PLASENCIA Reserva Nuevo Sampler (6) with clean dry hands and support the cigar along its length to protect the wrapper from nicks and oil transfer. Let newly purchased sticks rest in your humidor for at least one to two weeks to equalize after transit. While you can enjoy them right away many enthusiasts find the blend opens and smooths after three to six months of careful aging and can reward longer cellaring of a year or more. When preparing to smoke choose an appropriate cut for the ring gauge and avoid over cutting to preserve the cap. Toast the foot gently before drawing and puff slowly to maintain an even burn and balanced flavors. If you transport cigars allow them to acclimate back to humidor conditions for a few hours before smoking to reduce the risk of wrapper cracking and uneven burn. Rotate cigars occasionally and inspect for mold or beetle damage if you plan long term aging. With simple, consistent care the PLASENCIA Reserva Nuevo Sampler (6) will deliver its full complexity and remain in prime condition.
Reviews and Ratings

Publications and sites that cover boutique and mainstream cigars such as Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel have praised Plasencia blends more broadly for their careful construction and balanced flavor profiles. Customer feedback from tobacconists and online shoppers often highlights even burn, reliable draw, and approachable strength, making the sampler a popular introduction to the line. If you are looking for detailed ratings on a specific vitola, many reviewers will evaluate the full size rather than a sampler, but overall sentiment for Reserva Nuevo leans positive among experienced smokers.
History and Heritage
Plasencia is a multi generation family operation known for growing and blending tobacco in Central America. The family sources estate tobacco from farms in Nicaragua and Honduras and combines that experience with modern aging and manufacturing techniques. The Reserva Nuevo series was developed to showcase aged tobaccos and a focus on balance, offering a medium to medium full smoking experience that emphasizes classic notes like cedar, coffee and natural tobacco. The craftsmanship and attention to leaf selection that define Plasencia make this sampler a dependable choice for enthusiasts who want to explore the brand without committing to a single large box.
Tasting Notes
The PLASENCIA Reserva Nuevo Sampler (6) offers a refined medium-to-full bodied experience that balances Old World finesse with Nicaraguan depth. On the palate you’ll find creamy cedar and toasted tobacco at the forefront, backed by cocoa-dusted espresso, roasted almonds and a restrained black-pepper spice; leather and a cool, earthy undercurrent add complexity. Aromas of warm baking spice, sweet hay and subtle molasses invite the first draw, while the silky smoke evolves toward a lingering caramelized finish with a whisper of damp forest floor.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean or Nicaraguan rum, its notes of molasses, vanilla and oak mirror the cigar’s sweet-spice and toasted qualities, amplifying the creamy finish. Double espresso, the intense, bittersweet coffee tones cut through the cigar’s richness and echo its cocoa and roasted-bean notes for a harmonious contrast. 70% dark chocolate, a high-quality dark chocolate complements the cigar’s cocoa and nutty facets, heightening sweetness while preserving balance on the palate.
