Sencillo Black Piramide Largo 6 1/8″ * 54

Sencillo means simple in Spanish, which is the joke, since it comes from Prometheus, the company behind the very unsimple God of Fire. This is their plainspoken everyday line.

Sencillo Black is a Nicaraguan puro rolled by Plasencia, medium to full in body. Expect earth, cocoa, espresso and black pepper. At 6 1/8 by 54, the pyramid tapers toward the head, which tightens the draw and sharpens the spice as it burns down.

Plasencia grows most of its own tobacco across Nicaragua and Honduras and supplies leaf to a long list of brands that never mention it, so their own cigars get first pick of the crop. It shows in how evenly this one burns.

Pairs well with coffee, bourbon, or porter.
