If Nicaraguan tobaccos are known for their inherently fiery characteristics, and the fifth-generation Plasencia family is known as the world's largest grower of premium Nicaraguan tobacco, what does it tell you when Plasencia Cigars sets out to craft their interpretation of a fiery Nicaraguan puro???
The cigar at hand is dubbed Plasencia Alma del Fuego, marking the third cigar in the company's popular Alma Series (which began with the Alma Fuerte and was followed by the Alma del Campo). For Alma del Fuego, the Plasencias delved into their storied tobacco vaults, selecting a core recipe primarily harvested from Nicaragua’s rustic Ometepe island. The all-Nicaraguan filler/binder is then bound in a hearty sun-grown wrapper leaf, grown on the family’s farms in the Jalapa Valley.
The end result is—not surprisingly—fiery; however, the cigar is much more than a one-dimensional punch to the palate. After a peppery burst out of the gate, Alma del Fuego shows restraint, eventually pulling back to reveal a medium-full body and complexities of earth, raw pepper, natural tobacco, aromatic cabinet spices, cocoa, and sweet roasted nuts. The Plasencias have grabbed the bull by the horns and taught it a few tricks in the process, showcasing a brilliant balance of strength and depth from start to finish.
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.
Michael Lanier - Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Candente (Robusto)
This is the first cigar I've had in their line up, and I was blown away!!! I went in not knowing anything about them and I've become an instant fan. I actually think I prefer this one to the Padron 64. Just hands down an Awesome stick. Looking forward to trying their other blends.

An excellent addition the the "Alma" series. This one keeps you on your toes. Full bodied flavors of, cocoa, spices and sweet red pepper. The only issue I have with these is that they are so delicious, I find myself smoking them too fast.

Strong fire, strong tobacco from the Plasencia family! A great display of Nicaraguan tobaccos. Plenty of flavor, top notch construction and an experience for those who wish to dive deep into a pivotal family of tobacco growers from the heart of Nicaragua!

Plasencia is a company to be respected in every way possible. I love this cigar and really love this cigar in the lancero size and that is my fav size in general. Its pricy but as soon as you light it up to will understand and buy it again.

Great construction and the flavors are pretty good. The beginning on this cigar blew me away then as it progresses it losses some of the complexity that it had at the start.
