Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generacion V Cigar – Box of 10

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generacion V reflects five generations of tobacco expertise from the Plasencia family, known for supplying premium leaves to major cigar brands. Released in 2016, this Nicaraguan puro combines aged tobaccos from four regions: Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Ometepe. The blend centers on Criollo ’98 varietals, matured in Plasencia’s tobacco library to ensure complexity.

Presented in a box-pressed Salomón shape with tapered ends, the cigar features a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper. The construction maintains an even burn and consistent draw, leveraging Plasencia’s farming and rolling precision. Combustion properties are enhanced through multi-regional leaf selection and extended fermentation.

Flavor progression unfolds in three phases:

• Initial notes: Dark chocolate, espresso, oak
• Mid-smoke: Black pepper, nutmeg, dried fruit
• Final third: Creaminess with caramel and toasted almonds

This profile balances intensity with refined transitions, achieving medium-full body without harshness.

The Alma Fuerte Generacion V uses tobaccos aged 8-10 years, contributing to its layered character and extended finish. As the flagship of the Alma Fuerte series, it demonstrates Plasencia’s shift from bulk tobacco supplier to premium brand creator. The Salomón format measures 6.25" x 58, requiring specialized rolling techniques to maintain structural integrity.
