Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Flama Cigars - Rated 91 by Cigar Aficionado
The Plasencia Alma del Fuego Flama is the third entry in the renowned “Alma” series, and since its 2019 debut, it has earned widespread acclaim for its remarkable depth and craftsmanship. Although the Plasencia family has grown premium tobacco for more than five generations, only in recent years have they stepped forward with cigars bearing their own name—and the industry response has been overwhelmingly positive.
At the heart of Alma del Fuego is its bold use of Ometepe tobacco. Ometepe, an island formed by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua, is known for its incredibly fertile, mineral-rich soil. This volcanic terroir produces tobacco with unmistakable richness and intensity. In this blend, Ometepe leaf appears in both the binder and filler, supported by additional tobaccos from Plasencia farms and finished with a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper from the celebrated Jalapa region. The result is a dynamic, full-flavored profile that earned the cigar an impressive 91 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
Beyond its blend, the Flama vitola is a masterpiece in presentation and construction. Each 6 ½” x 38 lancero is stunningly dressed in triple bands and presented in a high-end box that doubles as an ashtray—just one more example of Plasencia’s attention to detail. The slim ring gauge intensifies the experience, delivering a concentrated, refined expression of the Alma del Fuego blend.
Upon lighting, expect aromatic clouds of smoke and deep notes of earthy tobacco. A gentle pepper spark introduces the profile, gradually building into layers of red chili, dark chocolate, and a silky, creamy sweetness. The retrohale is bold and spicy, adding dimension, while the finish leans medium-full and remains consistently smooth from start to finish.
The Plasencia Alma del Fuego Flama is made for enthusiasts who appreciate a cigar with structure, balance, and volcanic character. Pair it with black coffee or a dark beer to bring out its earthy and spicy notes. As a true Nicaraguan puro, it holds its own among legends like Padron 1964 or Oliva Serie V Melanio,. “Alma del Fuego”—the “Soul of Fire”—perfectly captures its origins and flavor story. Now is the perfect time to light one up and discover why the cigar world can’t stop talking about it.
