Plasencia Alma del Fuego Robusto
The Plasencia Alma del Fuego Robusto is a cigar that embodies the power and intensity of the terroirs of the Ometepe region in Nicaragua. This robusto stands out for its well-balanced character, offering an aromatic richness that will delight lovers of complex and intense flavours.
The emphasis on Ometepe tobacco gives this Nicaraguan puro a unique minerality, characteristic of the region's volcanic soils. What's more, its impeccable construction guarantees even burning and generous smoke.
Tasting notes
Our first impression upon lighting is one of rich spiciness, with earthy and woody notes. The first puffs reveal distinct flavours of black pepper and cocoa. True to the impeccable quality of this well-established brand, the smoke is dense and generous, and the construction is flawless. The ash becomes slightly crumbly from the second half onwards.
Towards the middle of the tasting, the intensity increases, revealing aromas of dried fruit, citrus, distinctly toasted notes and a slight hint of caramel, almost a little salty.
The finish offers beautiful persistence with smoky and spicy nuances, leaving a balanced impression of power and refinement.
Assembly
A Chai Latte tea is the perfect accompaniment to this cigar with its toasted notes, warming you up with a timid January sunbeam.

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.
