Plasencia Alma del Cielo Celeste Cigars
The Plasencia family has dedicated more than 160 years to cultivating exceptional tobacco across Central America, and few projects reflect their legacy quite like the Plasencia Alma del Cielo Celeste. Translating directly to "Soul of Heaven," this premium release is deeply rooted in the family's cherished Finca San Julián estate located in Condega, Nicaragua. Situated approximately 3,500 feet above sea level, this breathtaking farm stands as one of the highest-elevation tobacco-growing environments in the premium cigar industry. Originally owned by Nestor Plasencia's grandmother before it was sold in 1961, the property was joyfully reclaimed by the family decades later. Today, its rich mountain soil, pristine spring water, and cool microclimate produce tobacco that is completely unique. This project serves as a tribute to family heritage, agricultural sustainability, and the profound influence of nature on the final smoking experience.
This blend was recognized with a prestigious 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado, the 4 7/8" x 52 vitola is handcrafted as a Nicaraguan puro. It showcases a flawless Jalapa wrapper that encases a carefully selected blend of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, specifically highlighting the high-altitude leaves grown at Finca San Julián. These unique growing conditions allow the tobacco to develop remarkable balance, richness, and elegance, resulting in a profile that emphasizes refinement over raw power while remaining undeniably Plasencia.
The construction is meticulous, yielding an effortless draw, a razor-sharp burn line, and thick, creamy clouds of aromatic smoke. The flavor journey initiates with luxurious tasting notes of marzipan, honey, and nougat, delivering a silky sweetness that immediately captures the palate. As the smoke progresses, subtle layers of earth, warm cedar, toasted nuts, and bright orange zest emerge, adding significant depth and complexity without disrupting the blend's incredible harmony. The finish lingers gracefully with delicate touches of ginger spice and baking spices. Offering a medium-bodied strength profile and exceptional nuance, this cigar provides a deeply satisfying experience that rewards longtime Plasencia enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
