A Sneak Peek at the TAA Convention
Those attending this yearβs TAA convention in Aruba have the unique privilege of previewing the Plasencia Cosecha 151 Salomon before it reaches the wider market.

The Cosecha 151 Blend: Honoring a Banner Year in Honduran Tobacco
The Cosecha 151 blend itself is a tribute to the Plasencia familyβs 151st crop, harvested during the exceptional 2016β2017 growing season in Honduras. The blend exclusively uses Honduran tobaccos from this vintage, giving the cigar a unique profile and depth that speaks to the quality of the harvest. The Plasencia family considers this crop a standout in their long history, which spans more than five generations of expertise in tobacco farming and cigar production.
The Salomon size is an exciting addition to the Cosecha 151 line. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 54 ring gauge, this shapely vitola offers a distinct and flavorful smoking experience. The Salomon shape, known for its tapered foot and head, is not only visually striking but also presents a unique draw and burn that accentuates the flavors and aromas of the carefully aged tobacco.
