The Plasencia Alma de Fuego 3-pack’s packaging sports deep black and rich red colors which represents the black volcanic soil, fire, lava, and passion. The three vitolas include the Alma del Fuego Candente (5X50), Flama (61/2 X38), and the 93 rated Concepcion (6X54).
The first third of the Plasencia Alma del Fuego Concepción really reminded me of Christmas for some reason, but after that, things became average until the final third when creamy coffee rescued the cigar from continuing to be average. I'm interested to smoke this in another vitola in hopes of seeing that first third profile last longer as I really enjoyed it. I would smoke this again and see this as a nice addition to the company portfolio.
Alma del Fuego, which translates to “Soul of the Fire,” is a representation of the volcanic soils that stem from the iconic Ometepe Island in Nicaragua, the land where the majority of the filler tobacco leaves for this cigar were harvested.
