Plasencia, Alma Fuerte, Colorado Claro, Eduardo I

Nature means everything to the Plasencia family and they have been inspired by the hexagonal shape, which is considered the ultimate expression of perfection in nature.

The blend, which has a Colorado Claro wrapper, differs from the original Alma Fuerte line. You will still find the characteristic depth and complexity of a 10+ year old tobacco, but also a milder, sweeter and creamier profile that allows a wider range of aficionados to enjoy the cigar at any time of day

About Plasencia

Nestor Plasencia was born in Cuba in 1950 and was practically born into the world of tobacco and cigars. His family had been in the tobacco business for generations and could look back on a wealth of experience in the cultivation and manufacture of cigars. In 1959, his family had to flee to Nicaragua due to the revolution and built up a new livelihood there with tobacco plantations. As a result of the Sandinista revolution in 1979, Nestor Plasencia again lost all his plantations and factories and they fled to Honduras once more. There, they again cultivated new plantations and opened cigar factories. And with great success, because today they are among the most important cigar producers in Central America.

In 1986, around one million cigars were produced in their factories. Ten years later, they were already producing 33 million cigars. They are now also producing cigars in Nicaragua again
