Plasencia Alma Fuerte Salomon

'Strong soul' — the fuller-bodied member of the Plasencia family's Alma series, with its Eduardo vitola named for Don Eduardo Plasencia, the ancestor who first grew tobacco in Cuba's Vuelta Abajo back in 1865, before the family relocated to Nicaragua after the Castro government seized their farms. Dark chocolate, plum, cinnamon, oak, and molasses in a robust, complex Nicaraguan puro.
