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.

This is one of those special cigars that I don’t smoke too often. From the dark oily wrapper to the stunning box presentation, these exude luxury. Really happy with the shipping time and condition form Oxford too! Get some asap, these are great!

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

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Toro, What an intense full flavor cigar! Too intense for me to get much transition on flavor.

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.
