Serie V Melanio with Timor Leste coffee
Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Flama Pantela
It reminds me of being in a well maintained garden when the peppers are sprouting. The vegetal and floral notes are more pronounced in this vitola.
Edit: This particular line of Plasencia cigars may be in my top three current production sticks. The Robusto is a little better, but it either is pretty awesome.

Plasencia Alma del Fuego with a cup of Burundi coffee
They’ve (Alec Bradley) got an American sun grown that’s a pretty decent beater. This one sucks. I got all these AB smokes for buying something different. Came with 10 random Alec Bradley’s. Most decent enough. This ones not doing much for me
Drew Estate Nica Rustica Connecticut Broadleaf Short Robusto
This must have been sitting a long time. From the first puffs it was caramel coated roasted and salted peanuts with a side of coffee. It has a great beginning, but will it hold out?
Edit: It didn't last for long. It turned into marzipan and coffee. Then about 1/4 of the way through the sweetness fades out and it is pretty much just earth, coffee, wood, mild spice on the tongue, and then ends on earth and wood with a mild spice on the tongue.
It isn't something I would run out and buy a box of. A fiver for the winter may be in the cards though. Definitely a really good buy at the internet price of $4.50 each. Try it and if it fits your profile it may be be the best cigar that retails in that range without using a discount.
