Cigar Attributes

Size 5 x 50

La Campiña cigars were inspired by the name of the quaint countryside inn where Arthur and Hal often stay in Esteli, Nicaragua. Spanish for 'countryside,' these relaxing cigars are handmade at Plasencia's Esteli factory using a medium-bodied blend of Esteli Ligero, Jalapa Viso and Honduran Jamastran Seco leaves rolled in silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers. The smoke is smooth, balanced and creamy with accents of nutmeg, toasted almond, and hint of white pepper. Order your box now.

Score: 7.5

By Rick Pate (a.k.a "Tachammer" at Cigarzilla.net)

Smooth, mild to medium bodied. First one cracked up to the band after ÂĽ the way in. After some humi time, the second one made it to the end with no cracking. Since the cracking seemed to have more to do with humidification than construction, I didn’t consider that should affect the score.

Burn for both was a little uneven but no runners or tunneling and never needed correcting.  Nice finish even though a little faint lasts a long time.

Flavor was the only part that was difficult for me to rate. Though it wasn’t bad, there wasn’t much to remember about the taste, which I would best describe as "neutral."

Appearance - 7
Construction - 8
Burn (ash, etc.) - 7
Draw - 9
Flavor - 6
Aroma - 8
Final Score: 7.5 on the "tac-o-meter."

After reading all of the reviews of this cigar, I decided to give it a try. Man, I don't know what happened to the sticks I ordered, but they SUCKED!! From the instant my tongue touched this cigar, the taste of STRONG pepper NEVER went away. It looked awesome, smelled great and billowed smoke but man, the taste... I couldn't submerge this thing into my bottle of water fast enough! I would say it needed a little humi-time but it has already been in there for 2 months now. Guess my taste buds just aren't the same as all of you who loved this smoke.

 

delicious smoke

Tried a five pack with little expectations and was more than pleasantly suprised. Great, smooth, buttery taste. Just picked-up another fiver from the monster. Good thing , I had just smoked the last one in my humi.

 

Good Value!!

I got my 5-pack a few days ago, and fired one up just recently! Very nice construction, beautiful wrapper, it was pretty consistent as far as the flavor goes!... although I didn't taste much "toastiness" as mentioned in the write up on'em!

 

Very nice smoke!

Got these today and opened one up to try it out. Very nice. With a little humi time I'm sure it'll even be better. Good flavor throughout and a nice finish...buy some.

 

Surprisingly nice!

Picked these up during a buy one get one deal. Figured that I would try the new blend made by Plasencia for FSS. I was pleasantly surprised by this mild but still flavorful cigar. The smoke is very aromatic. All of my friends that were smoking CAOs at the time all stopped and asked me what it was that I was smoking because it smelled so good. The burn was as even as it gets. The draw was excellent. If you're looking for a mild to medium cigar with a complex flavor and a slight pepper finish to it, this would be a great place to start. A great cigar for the money.

Plugged, then when I cut off enough to get a draw it was unimpressive. I gotta stop buying these "special" deals

 

bad burn, bad smell, bad taste, poor cigar choice

i gave these cigars plenty of time in my humidor, but all of them were very poor at best, i rate these far below cheap mexican bundled cigars. the draw,taste and build of la campina robustos are about as inconsistant as cigars can get.
