The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robusto I was rated #1 by Cigar Journals Top 25: Cigar of the Year 2020. 

PLASENCIA

Plasencia Cigars, the leading producer of premium cigars and the largest producer of tobacco in Central America, was awarded 1st place in a consumer cigar blind tasting held by Manuel’s, one of the finest and most renowned cigar shops in Zürich, Switzerland. The award was conferred for its Alma del Campo Tribu cigar, one of the company's first brand name cigars to be introduced to the market.

Plasencias goal is to use the best leaves of aged tobacco exclusively in their cigars leaving them in the hands of the best collaborators in the fields and artists of the factories.

ALMA FUERTE 

For the Alma Fuerte, a team of five blenders, including Plasencia, Sr. and Jr., worked to create the cigar from 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos. The blend focuses around the family’s Criollo ’98 seed, using tobaccos from each of the major growing regions of Nicaragua (Condega, Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe). In addition, the Plasencias are using some of their rarest and most premium-grade leaves from their vast tobacco inventories.

Tasting Notes

Plasencia Alma Fuerte, a unique blend of Plasencia's best-aged tobaccos, grown in their highest quality soil, accentuating their bold, vibrant and intense flavours.

Laced with hints of dark chocolate, plum, and cinnamon, the taste is rounded out with finishing notes of oak and molasses.

#1 Cigar Journal's Top 25 cigars of 2020

"Pepperiness and caramel/cinnamon sweetness are a good match in this almost black box-pressed cigar. It develops cedary, nutty and coffee aromas with herbal spice. During the smoke it becomes more expressive."

CIGAR JOURNAL

----

91 / 100 

"There's a sweet-and-salty character to this dark, oily box-pressed robusto. The draw is rich, delivering complex notes of caramel, earth and toffee underscored by touches of wood, all of which recur on the long finish."

At last, a new world cigar I really enjoyed. Shame about the price being the same as a Cuban, however… Perfect draw and burn, sweet and earthy, delicious throughout. It describes it as full but I would say medium and below which is fine by me Highly recommend

I bought this in a Christmas tri bundle Plasencia and this one for me was far the best of the bunch. The rest of them were good but this box pressed Alma Fuerte was just grrrrreat. Immaculately built with a perfect burn line and oodles of smoke even with the lightest puff. On the dry draw I got coffee and chocolate (not the bitter kind). It took me a leisurely 80 minutes to smoke to the nub nearly burning my fingers. Maybe a bit to much for a beginner, but I really enjoyed this smoke especially no issues made it just that bit more enjoyable. More needed for my humidor for sure.

Cigar Journals cigar of the year 2020 & I was expecting to be amazed. Paired with Balvenie 14 year Caribbean Cask whisky on a beautiful sunny day. I was not wowed & do not think it’s worth it’s price tag personally, I’ve had much more complex cigars that have wowed at half the price. Love the Plasencia Alma Del Fuego, that’s far more complex & enjoyable. Brings into question for me the whole cigar of the year hype across all publications. On a plus though the construction can not be faulted brilliant ash build up & burn was even.

I will be hunting down more of these. Taste was fantastic, lots of deep notes with some nice sweetness in there. Burned for probably over an hour but I am a slow smoker. The construction was superb, really good looking ash that held on for a long time. Definitely one for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
