Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II
I first tried this cigar earlier in the year and fell in love with it. With its unusual hexagonal shape, large ring gage, and beautiful banding, it has wonderful presentation and a great feel in the fingers. The cold draw has a deep, sweet earthiness to me and the flavor when smoking is fantastic. I had to do a couple of touch ups on the first one, but after carefully lighting the subsequently ones they have burned well with a stout ash. Construction is outstanding. Draw is perfect. The rich flavor particular to this Plasencia offering is luxurious - it is one of my favorite “high end” cigars. I keep about 10 of these in my humidor along with the also excellent Generacion V Solomon vitola.
