Tasting note

Notes

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it smelt of warm sand, but God, it's generous with aromas! A straightforward attack with red pepper and cinnamon. The tone is set, this cigar has got it going on! The precious wood and dried fruit notes are not to be outdone. A hint of acidity (red fruit?) lifts my tasting a little and gives me a bit of liveliness in this maze of upercuts and straight to the right tastes! It's a cigar that slowly builds in strength throughout the tasting, so who knows where it'll stop! It reminds me of Ravel's Bolero.

Pairing

A muscular, lively piece of classical music, topped off with a spicy Caribbean rum.

Momentum

After a good meal with red meat

The cigar anecdote

Plasencia has brought out the "Alma" soul of the family and its "Fuerte" strength in producing quality tobacco. This range is the Plasencia family's promise to provide all aficionados with a unique experience.



Plasencia

In 1865, Don Eduardo Plasencia arrived on the island of Cuba with a single goal in mind: success. He soon had the opportunity to start his first tobacco plantations in the Vuelta Abajo region.

A few years later, he was joined by his nephew and exported the family's tobacco until 1963, when Cuban policy no longer allowed them to work and confiscated their farms.

It was then time to move to Mexico and Nicaragua in 1965. Then, once again, the family had to move to Honduras following the Sandinista revolution.

1987 marked a decisive turning point for the Family, as it was in this year that they officially entered the world of cigars by manufacturing their own vitolas.

Once a producer of tobaccos for other companies, it is now one of the great names in cigars, offering exceptional modules for over 35 years.

Still owning fields in various Latin American countries, it continues to supply its tobaccos to other cigar producers. This control of the production chain from seed to cigar enables it to guarantee the impeccable quality of all its cigars.
