An exclusive cigar

The Plasencia Year of the Snake is an exclusive premium cigar that pays stylish tribute to the Chinese Year of the Snake. With this exceptional edition, the long-established Plasencia family combines cultural symbolism and the finest art of cigar-making to create a unique collector’s item.

Elegance in form and packaging

The Year of the Snake is presented in an elegant Lancero vitola, measuring 7 inches in length with a ring gauge of 40. Every single cigar is meticulously crafted and sits perfectly in the hand. The luxurious packaging is particularly noteworthy: the elegant wooden box, featuring an artistically designed snake motif, contains eight perfectly shaped Lanceros as well as an extraordinary Culebra – two cigars artfully intertwined to resemble a writhing snake. This creative design makes the edition an impressive gift and collector’s item.

Exquisite selection of Nicaraguan tobaccos

This limited edition is a pure Nicaraguan puro, made exclusively from the finest tobaccos sourced from Plasencia’s own plantations. The carefully selected Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, combined with a perfectly balanced filler and a high-quality binder, promises a medium-bodied to full-bodied smoking experience of the highest quality.

A multi-layered delight with an exquisite aroma

When savouring the Plasencia Year of the Snake, a complex flavour profile unfolds that delights connoisseurs. Notes of leather, white pepper and subtle spices combine with earthy nuances to create a harmonious taste experience that lingers in the memory and perfectly underlines the exclusivity of this limited edition.
