The Plasencia Year of the Snake is a medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan puro featuring rich notes of earth, cedar, white pepper, baking spice, and leather with subtle hints of cocoa and sweetness. This limited-edition release represents Plasencia's fifth annual tribute to the Chinese Lunar Year, crafted from tobacco grown exclusively on the Plasencia family's farms. With only 6,000 boxes produced worldwide and just 3,000 allocated to the U.S. market, this exclusive offering exemplifies Plasencia's commitment to premium quality and aged tobacco. Each collector's box contains eight elegantly rolled 7x40 Lanceros alongside a unique two-cigar Culebra, showcasing the artistry of Plasencia's master rollers. The Culebra represents a modernized take on the traditional three-cigar format, featuring just two intertwined cigars that visually embody the serpentine theme. All cigars are comprised entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos grown at the Plasencia family farm, ensuring the vertical integration and quality control that has made Plasencia the world's largest premium tobacco grower. The Lancero format, crafted without the traditional pigtail cap, provides excellent heat distribution and elegant transport of flavors through its elongated shape. The medium to full-bodied profile delivers notes that naturally develop and marinate through the smoking experience, creating a sophisticated and well-balanced cigar. Housed in a stunning red and gold collector's box with gleaming hinged buckles, this limited edition serves as both a premium smoking experience and a coveted collector's item.
