Sencillo Platinum

Sencillo is a Spanish word, pronounced "sen-see-yo," and it means simple. Simple pleasure is the inspiration behind Sencillo cigars.

With the Sencillo cigar, Keith K. Park, the same man who created the elegant Prometheus line of cigar accessories and critically acclaimed God of Fire and Angelenos cigars, presents a great everyday smoke. Produced by Christian Eiroa in Honduras for Keith K. Park, the Sencillo blend uses Habano de Jamastran tobacco for the wrapper, filler, and binder, with Piloto Cubano tobacco added to the filler to balance out the flavor. The Sencillo is a puro, made entirely from tobacco grown in Honduras.

All of the Sencillo cigars exude a rich, spicy flavor; notes of allspice, cinnamon, and even a touch of cayenne dance across the tongue. A slightly sweet undertone tames the spicy taste. The medium-to-full bodied tobacco has the refined, leathery taste that reveals careful fermentation and aging.

Although these flavor notes carry through all of the four Sencillo sizes, each one offers a subtly different taste.

Sencillo Platinum Robusto  MSRP $6.95
50 x 5 1/4 inches, 20 mm x 133
25 cigars per box (MSRP $173.75)

The Robusto has the most pronounced and full-bodied flavor of all the Sencillo shapes. The spice notes are more intense, yet the cigar remains balanced and never overwhelms the palate.

Sencillo Platinum Double Robusto  MSRP $7.95
52 x 5 3/4 inches, 21 mm x 146
25 cigars per box (MSRP $198.75)

The Double Robusto tames the Robusto's taste just slightly - it's a bit lighter, a bit mellower, and smokes a bit cooler. The spicy zest is there, but it's balanced against a stronger taste of leather, and subtle earthy flavors start to enter.
   
Sencillo Platinum Robusto Gordo 56   MSRP $7.95
56 x 5 inches, 21 mm x 126
25 cigars per box (MSRP $198.75)

This cigar could be considered something of a Holy Grail of cigars: a blend that is extremely flavorful yet very easy-smoking. When you first light Sencillo Platinum Robusto Gordo 56, it has a peppery kick quite a bit like the best Cuban cigars. But it quickly settles into a richly flavored smoke without bite, reminiscent of the taste of a great Merlot wine. Very soft flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg provide interesting flavor notes for this super-smooth blend.
  
Sencillo Platinum Short Churchill  MSRP $8.50
48 x 6 1/4 inches, 20 mm x 159
25 cigars per box (MSRP $212.50)

The longest in the Sencillo line, this cigar has a big, mouth-filling taste and delivers an extremely smooth smoking experience. The flavors of spice are subtle, yet still unmistakable.
      
Sencillo Platinum Pirámide  MSRP $8.95
54 x 6 1/8 inches, 21 mm x 155
25 cigars per box (MSRP $223.75)

The elegant Pirámide is the most visually impressive of all the Sencillos, and delivers the most intense aroma as well. The smooth, satisfying taste mirrors that of the Toro, with just a bit more of the spicy kick of the Robusto and Double Robusto.

Sencillo Platinum Gigante  MSRP $8.95
60 x 6 inches, 24 mm x 152
25 cigars per box (MSRP $223.75)

The Gigante may be the most complex of all the Sencillos. The peppery taste of the smaller Sencillo cigars is present for only the first inch or so, soon subsumed in hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices. Further down, one catches the distinctive bittersweet flavor of cocoa powder. The Gigante’s aroma recalls the experience of visiting a Middle Eastern spice merchant - it is fascinating and intricate, filled with too many scents to readily identify.

The MSRP will vary, depending on the tobacco tax and import duty rates in the state or country where the authorized Prometheus dealer is located.

For customers residing in the U.S., there will be state tobacco and sales taxes. For customers residing outside the U.S., the import duty and local tobacco tax will be added.
