Plasencia Cigars has announced that it has begun shipping shipping its Cosecha 146.

While the company dates back to 1865, 152 years ago, this cigar celebrates the tobacco crop, not the company’s anniversary. Cosecha translates to harvest and this cigar came from the company’s 2011-2012 crop, its 146th crop.

“We are delighted to announce that Cosecha 146 has been officially introduced to the U.S. market and is now getting into the hands of our loyal consumers,” said Nestor Andrés Plasencia, ceo of Plasencia Cigars, in a press release. “Cosecha 146 is our first cigar to be introduced from our Cosecha series, which was created to commemorate the Plasencia family’s first-ever tobacco harvest in 1865 in Cuba.

It uses a Honduran wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers.
