Plasencia Alma Del Cielo Amanecer Cigars
The Plasencia family has spent more than 160 years cultivating tobacco across Central America, but few projects carry the personal significance of the Plasencia Alma del Cielo Amanecer. Translating to "Soul of Heaven," this extraordinary cigar is rooted in the family's beloved Finca San Julián estate in Condega, Nicaragua—a breathtaking farm situated approximately 3,500 feet (1,300 meters) above sea level, making it one of the highest-elevation tobacco-growing regions in the cigar world. Once owned by Nestor Plasencia's grandmother before being sold in 1961, the property was joyfully reclaimed by the family decades later, where its rich mountain soil, pristine spring water, and cool climate now produce tobacco unlike any other. Alma del Cielo is more than another premium release—it's a tribute to family heritage, sustainability, and the remarkable influence of nature on exceptional tobacco.
Cigar Aficionado has given the Plasencia Alma del Cielo blend a 90 rating. Handcrafted as a Nicaraguan puro, the 6" x 60 Alma del Cielo Amanecer showcases a flawless Jalapa wrapper embracing a carefully selected blend of premium Nicaraguan tobaccos, including leaves grown on the celebrated high-altitude fields of Finca San Julián. What immediately sets the Amanecer apart is its striking hexagonal, box-pressed Gordo shape, giving this substantial vitola six defined sides and a distinctive feel in both the hand and mouth. Beyond its remarkable appearance, the generous 60-ring gauge provides ample room for the blend's carefully selected tobaccos to work together, showcasing the richness, balance, and elegance created by Alma del Cielo's unique high-altitude components.
Construction is impeccable, producing an effortless draw, a razor-sharp burn, and thick, creamy clouds of aromatic smoke. The flavor journey begins with luxurious notes of marzipan, honey, and nougat, creating a silky sweetness that immediately captivates the palate. As the cigar develops, subtle layers of earth, warm cedar, toasted nuts, and bright orange zest emerge, adding depth and complexity without disturbing the blend's remarkable harmony. The finish lingers gracefully with delicate touches of ginger and baking spice, leaving behind a refined, satisfying impression that invites another draw.
Like the finest compositions, Plasencia Alma del Cielo unfolds with patience, balance, and purpose. Medium-bodied and exceptionally nuanced, the Amanecer offers a long, luxurious interpretation of this remarkable high-altitude blend, rewarding both longtime Plasencia enthusiasts and those discovering the brand for the first time. Rich in family history, cultivated from one of Nicaragua's most treasured estates, and presented in an unmistakable hexagonal Gordo format, the Plasencia Alma del Cielo Amanecer is a fittingly distinctive expression of a cigar worthy of its heavenly name.
