Nestor Andrรฉs Plasencia, vice president of Plasencia Cigars, discusses the company’s highly anticipated Alma del Fuego cigar release at the 2019 IPCPR trade show.

Translating to mean Soul of the Fire, the cigars are characterized by a punchy Nicaraguan puro recipe, including a heavy dose of leaves harvested from the countryโ€™s Ometepe island, as well as a sun-grown leaf from the familyโ€™s farms in the Jalapa Valleyโ€”said to highlight the cigarโ€™s boldness and complexity.

Plasencia’s booth has remained one of the most busy over the past three years, with the company hosting guests to coffee, beer (from the The Tank Brewing Co., which the Plasencias are involved), and live music.
