Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generation V Salomon cigars are a large, box-pressed, torpedo shaped cigar. These are Nicaraguan Puros made from 100% Nicaraguan tobacco: wrapper, filler and binder and made at the famous Plasencia Cigars Factory which is located to the north of Managua. Alma Fuerte translates literally as “strong soul”.
Plasencia was initially founded by Don Eduardo Plasencia who emigrated from The Canary islands in 1865 to Cuba and began to grow tobacco. The farm remained in family hands until it was confiscated by Fidel Castro’s regime in 1963. Don Elder Sixto and his family fled to Mexico and and ended up in Nicaragua in 1965 where he planted some of his best seeds. The farms were burned by The Sandinistas in 1978 and the family fled to Honduras where Nestor Plasencia entered the cigar business. Eventually, in 1990, the family would return to Nicaragua and re-establish the business they were forced to leave. Plasencia are now the largest tobacco grower in world. They launched their first cigars under the Plasencia brand in 2017.
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generation V Salomon cigars, like the rest of the Alma Fuerte range, are made from the best aged tobaccos, aged using a 10 year ageing process, grown in the highest quality soils which accentuates the bold, vibrant and intense flavours. Tobaccos included are sourced from the regions of Condega, Estelí, Jalapa and Ometepe.
Salomon shaped cigars are part of the diadema group of cigars. It is a very large figurado cigar with a pointed, tapered head and bulbous foot and a nipple tip. Due to their size and shape Salomones are some of the most difficult and time-consuming cigars to roll.
Smoke time around 60 to 70 minutes.
Also available in boxes of 10 cigars. Please enquire.
