For more than five generations, the Plasencia family have been known as some of the best tobacco growers the world over. They have been manufacturing cigars that are known for their quality for just as long. Although not a household name (yet), you’ve likely seen their handiwork in brands like Rocky Patel, Gurkha, & Romeo y Julieta, just to name a few. A few years ago, the Plasencias decided they wanted their moment in the limelight and launched the exceptional super-premium Plasencia cigars. It was designed as a vehicle to showcase their talents as tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers.
Plasencia’s Alma Fuerte is the brand that catapulted the Plasencia name to the forefront of the Premium and Super-Premium cigar market. Alna Fuerte roughly translates to “strong soul” and the blend is certainly on the fuller side of the spectrum. Utilizing some of the best tobaccos grown exclusively on their farms, the Plasencia Alma Fuerte is expertly constructed and features a blend of carefully selected, all Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos. It is wrapped in an oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper. Tasting notes include full flavors of cocoa, leather, and pepper that are well balanced with notes of toasted nuts, earth, and cedar.
