Plasencia Alma Fuerte

Alma Fuerte is a farm‑first Nicaraguan puro built from Plasencia stock: a Jalapa wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and a mix of Estelí, Condega, Jalapa and Ometepe fillers. It favors a dense, mouthcoating smoke with a backbone of earth and espresso, recurring cocoa and almond notes, and a finish of cedar and warm baking spice such as nutmeg or cinnamon. Some samples show a minty lift on the cold draw or retrohale, which can brighten the darker core. Plasencia has used format and aging to change mouthfeel — the hexagonal, box‑pressed Sixto and the Colorado Claro with an aged Jalapa wrapper concentrate almond/cedar interplay and give a firmer, more compact delivery.
