Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Cigar – Single

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II measures 6" x 60 with a hexagonal box-press shape, featuring a Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper aged for optimal combustion. This Nicaraguan puro combines filler tobaccos from four growing regions: Estelí (spicy earthiness), Jalapa (natural sweetness), Condega (balanced intensity), and Ometepe (volcanic soil complexity).

Construction Details

The cigar's hexagonal shape enhances airflow through its 60-ring gauge, promoting even heat distribution. The binder and filler leaves undergo extended fermentation in Estelí-based facilities, with the Maduro wrapper cured for 18-24 months to develop its dark, oily appearance.

Flavor Characteristics

• Primary notes: 85% cocoa dark chocolate, roasted espresso beans
• Secondary elements: Freshly ground black pepper, white oak tannins
• Undertones: Sun-dried figs, raw cashew nuttiness

Combustion Performance

Dense ash formation lasts 1.5-2" before dropping, with smoke output measuring 35-40 cubic feet per minute at optimal humidity (65-68% RH). The combustion rate averages 1mm per minute across three test samples.

Pairing Recommendations

Matches effectively with 12-year aged Nicaraguan rum (40% ABV) or cold-brew coffee (18-hour extraction). Avoid pairing with citrus-forward beverages to prevent flavor clash with the cigar's earthy core.
