1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar and a hint of spice. The draw is effortless. Smoke production is already at the high end of medium range. The burn is a bit wavy at 1/2” in. There is a mint like note joining the profile. The ash is medium gray and stacked. Strength starts out medium. Dried fruit notes join the profile and are more noticeable on the finish. The burn has almost fully self corrected. The ash holds firm and straight until removal.

2nd
The flavor remains consistent past the midway point of the cigar. Toast notes join the profile. The ash tightens up in the 2nd/3rd. The finish is long with notes of cedar, mint, dried fruit, toast, a pinch of vanilla and crushed red pepper spice. The burn got off about 10* but with the help of simple physics is almost fully self corrected by the end of the 2nd/3rd.

Final/3rd
The complex, well balanced and flavorful profile rolls into the final/3rd. The smoke production is at the high range. Strength moves to medium+. The flavorful profile continues right to the nub.
Overall
The Plasencia Cosecha 146 Robusto provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A complex, well balanced and flavorful profile with an effortless draw and mildly erratic burn.
Another fine smoke from the folks at @PlasenciaCigars
