    Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Concepción Review

    Only 3 years since Plasencia released Alma Del Fuego (Soul Of Fire) and the cigar is one of their bestsellers. 100% Nicaraguan puro, with Ometepe tobaccos in the filler.

    Appearance: Rating: ★★★★★

    Covered in nut brown coloured wrapper, smooth and no tooths. There is a little bit of oiliness.

    A Closed foot covers the bottom of the cigar. 3 separate bands on this cigar, but all not crazy big and covering most of the cigar, nice touch with the band on the foot.

    Construction: Rating: ★★★★★

    Nice constructed cigar, no soft spots when squeezed. Both burn and draw are excellent Ash is perfect too, firm and stable.

    Flavour: Rating: ★★★★

    Cold draw is pure leather and a bit of nuts

    First puffs start with a couple dominant flavours: fresh cut wood and sweet cedar, nice retrohale coffee flavour. At some point the cigar becomes very pleasantly creamy.  

    The cedar in the second part becomes very dominant, the rest of the flavours are still here with no difference.

    Last part picks earthy notes which become overwhelming at some point. Retrohale is still same coffee but I pick from time to time leather

    Value: Rating:  ★★★★1/2

    $16-18 In the US, it puts this cigar in the premium range. Honestly it feels and tastes like a premium cigar.

    Overall Rating: Rating: ★★★★1/2

    Since they started releasing cigars for their portfolio in 2017 Plasencia proved their way into one of the best companies producing cigars in the world. This cigar continues to prove that. Perfect looking, construction excellent. Flavours are complex enough to intrigue and bring heavenly smoke. The Ometepe tobacco is well mixed without dominating over the others.

Description

Plasencia Cigars, the leading producer of premium cigars and the largest producer of tobacco in Central America, was awarded 1st place in a consumer cigar blind tasting held by Manuel’s, one of the finest and most renowned cigar shops in Zürich, Switzerland. The award was conferred for its Alma del Campo Tribu cigar, one of the company’s first brand name cigars to be introduced to the market.

Plasencias goal is to use the best leaves of aged tobacco exclusively in their cigars leaving them in the hands of the best collaborators in the fields and artists of the factories.

ALMA DEL FUEGO

Plasencia Alme del Fuego radiates passion and highlights the string character of the volcanic soil that stems from the Ometepe Island. Sun-grown wrappers from the fields of Jalapa Valley were carefully selected, complementing the cigar with a sweet character.

The Alma del Fuego Concepción was created by prolific tobacco grower Nestor Andrés Plasencia to highlight Nicaraguan leaf from the volcanic island of Ometepe. In this third instalment of Plasencia’s Alma Series, only Nicaraguan tobacco is used. One of the two binders is from Ometepe as is half the filler. According to Plasencia, all the tobacco from Ometepe was aged for seven years, which is longer than the rest of the blend.
