Though the Plasencia 1865 line is relatively young in the world of cigars, the Plasencias have been in the cigar world for over 150 years. Beginning in 1865 in Vuelta Abajo, Cuba, the Plasencia family now resides in Nicaragua. There, the Plasencias grow top-quality tobacco and run some of the largest cigar factories in the country.

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte is described by the Plasencias as a unique blend of their best-aged tobaccos. The blend is a Nicaraguan puro, meaning every leaf inside comes from Nicaragua. A quick glance at these cigars screams quality craftsmanship, and toasting the foot lets you know you’re in for a treat. Dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a cinnamon-like spice greet the palate before a sweet and oaky finish. Plasencia Alma Fuerte is a fantastic offering and one that belongs on your top shelf ASAP.
