Plasencia Cigars

With over 150 years of rich tobacco heritage, the Plasencia family is a giant in the premium cigar world. Since Don Eduardo Plasencia planted his first Cuban seeds in 1865, the family has grown into one of the largest vertically integrated tobacco cultivators globally.

Operating in Nicaragua and Honduras, they oversee every single step. For decades, they supplied premium leaf to top brands like Rocky Patel before launching their own namesake cigar line in 2017 to showcase their blending mastery.

Their portfolio explores Nicaraguan and Honduran terroirs: Alma Fuerte is their bold flagship, featuring heavily aged tobaccos with rich notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Alma del Fuego showcases tobacco grown in volcanic Ometepe soil, delivering distinct red pepper spice. Reserva Original is a smooth smoke recognized as the first certified organic cigar. Cosecha 151 is a newer Honduran puro honoring their 151st harvest.
