The Plasencia family has been growing tobacco and making cigars for over five generations, making many popular blends for brands like Rocky Patel, Gurkha, and Romeo y Julieta. Decent resume, huh? But in the last few years, the Plasencias have turned their attention to producing their own brands. And after a few 90+ ratings, it’s safe to say they’re settling in quite nicely.
Plasencia’s Alma Fuerte features some of the family’s very best tobaccos. Comprised of an all-Nicaraguan core of long-fillers and wrapped in an oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, expect a bold, rich blend ripe with notes of cocoa, leather, and spice. Very complex and balanced, it’s easy to see why this cigar earned a 93-rating from Cigar Aficionado as well as #9 Cigar of the Year in 2017. Genuinely, these are some of the finest cigars on the market. We highly suggest always having a few in hand.
