"FLAVOR PROFILE: Plasencia Alma del Fuego radiates passion and highlights the strong character of the volcanic soil that stems from the Ometepe Island. The cigar offers a hint of spice, complemented by savory notes of tangerine, roasted cashews, and guava wood. Sun-grown wrappers from the fields of Jalapa Valley were carefully selected, complementing the cigar with a sweet character." -Plasencia
"Dark, oily and box-pressed, this skinny cigar draws and burns evenly. It has the sweet and spicy character of dark chocolate studded with dried chili peppers. Additional notes of cinnamon, almond and leather accent the smoke."- Cigar Aficionado, 91 points.
