Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I

This Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I is a real gem. Its hexagonal shape, inspired by a honeycomb, gives this cigar a unique character. The depth and complexity characteristic of the filler tobacco, aged over 10 years, have been preserved. The Colorado Claro wrapper leaf perfectly balances this strong character with a pleasant sweetness.

A consistent, dense ash perfectly illustrates the quality of craftsmanship behind this Plasencia.

In its green hexagonal box, there is a quote from the poet Rubén Darío: "Dichoso el árbol, que es apenas sensitivo, y más la piedra dura porque esa ya no siente, pues no hay dolor más grande que el dolor de ser vivo, ni mayor pesadumbre que la vida consiente." This translates as: "Happy is the tree, which feels almost nothing, and even happier is the hard stone, which feels nothing at all. There is no greater pain than being alive, nor greater sorrow than conscious living."

The box is adorned with this quote from the poet Rubén Darío: "Happy is the tree that feels almost nothing, and even happier is the hard stone that feels nothing at all. There is no greater pain than being alive, nor any greater burden than living consciously."

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.
