Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I Robusto Construction

The name Alma Fuerte translates directly to “Strong Soul,” an apt description for a blend that represents the heart of the Plasencia tobacco empire. This expression is a true Nicaraguan Puro, using selected leaves from the family’s vast fields across Jalapa, Condega, Estelí, and Ometepe.

Wrapper: Oily Nicaraguan Shade-Grown Jalapa (Criollo ’98)
Binder: Aged Nicaraguan
Filler: A proprietary blend of 10-year-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos

The secret to the Robustus I’s exceptional draw and balance is its gentle box-pressed shape, which cools the smoke and allows the dense layers of flavour to develop smoothly. From the first light, notes of spicy black pepper transition gracefully into a creamy, nutty mid-section, concluding with oaky undertones and a lingering, luxurious dark-cocoa finish.

Cultivating tobacco since 1865, they supply premium leaves to many of the biggest names in the industry.

Tasting Notes

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I is a bold, box-pressed Nicaraguan puro offering rich notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather, earth, and black pepper.

It opens with intensity – think leather, cocoa, and spice – then develops deeper chocolate and coffee flavours with subtle dark fruit sweetness. The final third brings a strong, toasty oak and espresso finish with lingering pepper.

Medium-Full to Full, creamy, well-balanced, and refined thanks to 10 years of ageing. A powerful yet smooth flagship smoke.

Drinks Pairing

Pairs beautifully with a rich Bourbon or Sherry-aged Scotch, such as Kentucky Vintage or Aberlour A’Bunadh, to complement its dark chocolate, espresso, and leather notes.
