#9 Cigar of the Year 2017

Tasting Notes:

93/100

"As you might expect, the Generacion V requires some time. Cigars of this shape normally take awhile to warm up and begin steady combustion. But once it does, it rewards the smoker with layer upon rich layer of cocoa powder, leather and toast."

About the cigar:

Plasencia Alma Fuerte, a unique blend of the best-aged tobaccos, grown in our highest quality soil, accentuating their bold, vibrant and intense flavors.  Laced with hints of dark chocolate, plum, and cinnamon, the taste is rounded out with finishing notes of oak and molasses.

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I is the newest blend in the Fuerte collection. While made like the rest of the Almas with a ten-year aging process, its Colorado Claro wrapper and hexagonal shape creates a distinctive taste with a tempered body. Flavors include cocoa and almonds, with hints of nutmeg and cedar in the final notes.
