Plasencia Alma del Campo Madroño

The Plasencia company, which has been in business for five generations, controls the entire value chain thanks to the family's numerous tobacco fields. This enables it to guarantee high production levels naturally, using responsible and healthy farming practices.

It was only natural that the Royal Cigar Company turned to Plasencia to create a cigar worthy of its 20th anniversary.

Discover the soul of the countryside in XXL format with this Madrono Gordo. A mild-flavoured cigar that will remind you of walks in the fields and afternoons spent fishing by the river. It is said that Plasencia cigars are so remarkably well-made and produce such long ashes that some people display their smoked cigars under glass.

A very enriching encounter with the inexhaustible Giuseppe Spiga of Royal Cigar, who talks passionately about Plasencia, the company's values and the respect shown to their employees.

About Plasencia

It was in 1865 that Don Eduardo Plasencia arrived on the island of Cuba with a single goal in mind: success. He soon had the opportunity to establish 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 prevented them from continuing their work and confiscated their farms.

It was then time to expand into Mexico and later Nicaragua in 1965. Once again, the family had to relocate to Honduras following the Sandinista revolution.

1987 marked a turning point for the family, as it was in that year that they officially entered the cigar world by manufacturing their own vitolas.

Once solely tobacco growers for other companies, they are now among the leading figures in the cigar industry, having offered exceptional cigars for over 35 years.

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