Plasencia Alma

del Cielo

Plasencia’s High-Altitude Tobacco from Finca San Julian The tobacco for Alma del Cielo comes from the Finca San Julian farm. It sits high in the mountains of Condega where the terrain can be less forgiving, and replicating consistency for tobacco isn’t easy. That’s why this cigar stands out. It carries the imprint of the landscape making it slower to mature and more concentrated in character. The farm wasn’t always used for tobacco. It was once a working coffee and cattle farm, owned by Melalina Torres, Nestor Andres Plasencia’s grandmother. In 1961, the family sold it, but would later be purchased by Nestor’s father as a gift for his wife and eventually returned to the family. By then, they discovered their land fostered rich nutrients, clean water, and the perfect growing conditions that would lend the tobacco its distinctive pace. Not all of Alma del Cielo filler comes from San Julian, but its fingerprint is unmistakable. Alma del Cielo Cigar Blend This series features all Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler. They’re all drawn from Plasencia’s own farms, including some tobacco grown in Finca San Julian. The wrapper, grown in Jalapa, brings a measured sweetness and balance that acts as a counterweight to its denser core. The binder is chosen for its sturdy structure, while the filler features some of the high-altitude tobacco that gives the cigar an unbelievably unique flavor. Expect the early draw to reveal a creamy sweetness reminiscent of marzipan and honey, all accented by subtle hints orange zest, ginger, and nougat.
