Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I Cigar – Box of 10

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I is a Nicaraguan puro featuring a 5 1/4" x 52 robusto format. It utilizes a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper with visible oils, paired with filler tobaccos aged over 10 years from Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Ometepe regions. This blend creates a medium to full-bodied profile with flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and black pepper, complemented by toasted nut and oak undertones.

Flavor Progression & Construction

Initial draws of the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I reveal dominant cocoa and earth notes, transitioning to leather and nutmeg mid-body. The combustion produces a steady burn rate with ash retaining cohesion for 25-30 minutes. Retrohaling emphasizes roasted coffee and cinnamon spice elements, while the final third intensifies pepper nuances without harshness.

Aging & Material Composition

Primarily composed of viso leaves from Jalapa and ligero from Ometepe, the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I incorporates tobaccos cultivated in volcanic soils. The Habano wrapper undergoes 18-month fermentation, contributing to its balanced sweetness. Box-pressed construction ensures consistent smoke output, requiring 75-90 minutes to smoke fully.

Presented in boxes of 10, each Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I cigar demonstrates tight cap application and seamless wrapper seams. The blend's Estelí-grown seco leaves provide structural integrity, maintaining combustion stability even in humid conditions above 65% RH.
