Plasencia Cigars, the benchmark in premium cigar craftsmanship and the largest producer of tobacco in Central America, has earned a global reputation for excellence. This was underscored when their Alma del Campo Tribu was awarded first place in a blind tasting hosted by Manuel’s – one of Zürich’s most respected cigar lounges. A proud moment for one of the first cigars to bear the Plasencia name, it exemplifies the brand’s commitment to quality and heritage.
The Alma Fuerte line represents the pinnacle of the Plasencia portfolio, crafted by a team of five expert blenders, including both Plasencia Sr. and Jr. This cigar is built around the family's revered Criollo ’98 seed and made exclusively from Nicaraguan tobaccos sourced from the country’s top regions – Condega, Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe. For this blend, Plasencia has drawn from their most prized, aged tobacco reserves, ensuring a smoke that is both refined and full of character.
The Sixto I is the newest addition to the Alma Fuerte collection. Designed for those who appreciate the line’s richness but prefer a more nuanced, less intense profile, this version is smoother and more rounded – akin to a cappuccino when compared to the bold espresso nature of the Sixto II. A subtle adjustment to the blend and the use of a Colorado Claro wrapper softens the intensity, without compromising complexity.
Measuring 6 inches with a commanding 60 ring gauge, the Sixto I offers a medium-strength experience in a striking, hexagonal shape. Available as a single cigar, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking balance, sophistication, and exceptional flavour in every draw.
