Plasencia Alma Fuerte – Full-Bodied Nicaraguan Puro Masterpiece
Plasencia Alma Fuerte stands at the pinnacle of premium cigars—a bold, impeccably crafted Nicaraguan puro wrapped in a pristine, dark, oily leaf. Meticulously blended from 100% aged Nicaraguan tobaccos, it delivers a luxurious, full-bodied experience with seamless construction and a flavor journey that remains composed and engaging from first light to final inch.
- Full-bodied Nicaraguan puro showcasing aged estate-grown tobaccos
- Rich, complex profile—pepper, chocolate, coffee, caramel-nougat sweetness
- Impeccable craftsmanship for even burn, steady draw, and resilient ash
- Iconic formats including Salomon and Sixto, renowned for performance and presence
- Critically acclaimed—celebrated by aficionados and top publications
- Memorable presentation—a humidor-worthy addition for special moments
From the first puffs, Alma Fuerte announces itself with assertive Nicaraguan spice and deep earth, soon layering in chocolate and espresso over a silky caramel-nougat sweetness. As it progresses, the blend reveals cedar and baking spices, maintaining power without harshness. Construction is exemplary: reliable ignition, slow cadence-friendly combustion, and a steady burn line with minimal touch-ups when properly stored.
Ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate intensity with refinement, Alma Fuerte excels in long sessions and celebratory settings. While immediately gratifying, a period of humidor rest can further integrate sweetness, temper spice, and magnify the cigar’s luxurious mouthfeel.

This one is a repeat purchase for me! The Salomon is such a unique vitola that makes the cigar stand out before you even smoke it. The Alma Fuerte’s flavors are absolutely bold, and has that Nicaraguan spice I enjoy.

Plasencia is always putting out really great blends. Have not had a bad Plasencia cigar yet and this was no exception. Great full bodied cigar with great construction all the way through.

These are the awesome. I like the Alma Del Campo slightly more, but these are a bit bolder in flavor by comparison. Just like the Campo, these smoke great from beginning to end, with no unpleasantness at all during any part of the experience. They have everything you want out of a fuller bodied cigar.

This is one of those no bullsh!t cigars. From the get go, it kicks into gear and stays in gear for the entire duration. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because personally, there is too much classic nicaragua earth flavour for my liking.

The Salomon vitola is an amazing cigar. I let it age a bit which I think benefits most Plasencia’s. It’s a slow burn and needs no touch ups. Such an engaging cigar. I was forced to leave it for 12 minutes and it needed only a puff to bring it back to life. Deep tones and a mild body experience.

Se você tem tempo, paciência de apreciar um charuto intenso. Então prepare sua cadeira, alguns belos drinks ou destilados e curta esse charuto. Encorpado como deve ser e com bastante sabor

pricey, but these are a real treat. You get two plus hours out of the Sixto. Plenty of transitions, and nothing but solid flavors. Great cigars.
