The Plasencia Alma Fuerte is a full-bodied cigar featuring a dark, oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper that delivers a complex and robust smoking experience. With hints of dark chocolate, plum, and cinnamon, the taste is rounded out with finishing notes of oak and molasses. Bold notes of leather, cocoa, earth, and toast complement a robust spice from beginning to end, with rich espresso, dark chocolate, and spices creating an indulgent and memorable profile. For the Alma Fuerte, a team of five blenders, including Plasencia Sr. and Jr., worked to create the cigar from 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos, with the blend focusing around the family's Criollo '98 seed, using tobaccos from each of the major growing regions of Nicaragua (Condega, Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe). The cigars are medium-bodied with a dark and oily Maduro Nicaraguan wrapper and aged for a minimum of ten years, built out of prime, impeccable Nicaraguan tobacco sporting Criollo '98 leaves from the finest tobacco growing regions including tobacco leaves from Estelí, Condega, Ometepe, and the Jalapa Valley. Five generations of premium cigar-making culminates in the 93-rated Alma Fuerte which ranked #9 in Cigar Aficionado's 'Top 10' in 2017, with the Generacion V rated 93/100 by Cigar Insider. Alma Fuerte translates to 'strong soul,' and you can taste the Plasencia family's determination to grow, age, and blend their finest tobaccos in a rich, cohesive masterpiece.
