Storage Instructions
For the Plasencia Alma del Fuego Panetela Flama (10) store your cigars in a reliable humidor to maintain steady conditions. Aim for a relative humidity of 65 to 68 percent for this slender panetela to protect the delicate wrapper and preserve an even draw. Keep the humidor temperature between 65 and 70ºF which is 18 to 21ºC. Line the humidor with Spanish cedar if possible and avoid large swings in humidity and temperature. If you are shipping or traveling with these cigars use a well sealed travel humidor or sealed plastic sleeve with a small humidification pack so the thin wrapper does not dry out. Keep them away from direct sunlight strong odors and heating vents to prevent discoloration and flavor contamination.
Care Tips
Handle the Plasencia Alma del Fuego Panetela Flama (10) gently and only with clean dry hands since the thin wrapper is more prone to nicks and oils. When cutting use a sharp straight cut or a precise punch to avoid crushing the cap. Toast the foot gradually and light with a butane lighter or a cedar spill to achieve an even burn without scorching the wrapper. If you plan to age these cigars allow them to rest in your humidor for one to three months to marry the tobaccos and round the flavors. Many enthusiasts will revisit these cigars at six months and again at one year to evaluate development. Rotate boxes periodically within the humidor so air and humidity distribute evenly and inspect for any signs of over humidity or mold. When in doubt err on the side of slightly drier conditions rather than overly wet ones to protect the wrapper and ensure a clean smoke.

History and Heritage

The Panetela Flama is the slender, elegant member of that family, crafted to highlight nuance and a disciplined burn profile. Hand rolled in Plasencia facilities and built from select leaves, this vitola offers a refined way to experience the brand’s commitment to farm to cigar provenance and consistent craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes
The Plasencia Alma del Fuego Panetela Flama (10) is a focused, full-bodied panetela that delivers an immediate impression of warm black pepper and roasted espresso. Midpalate notes of dark cocoa, aged leather and rich earth are threaded with cedar and toasted almond, while a subtle orange-zest brightness lifts the finish. Aromas of smoky hearth, toasted tobacco leaf and faint black cherry invite slow, contemplative draws that reveal layers rather than speed. Overall, the cigar balances muscular Nicaraguan spice with refined sweetness and a long, savory finish.
Pairing Suggestions
Espresso, a rich, short espresso amplifies the cigar’s roasted coffee and dark-cocoa elements while the crema tempers the peppery edge. Aged añejo rum, the molasses, oak and dried-fruit notes in a 10–12 year rum harmonize with the cigar’s leather and sweet spice, adding a luscious counterpoint. 70–80% dark chocolate, a square of bittersweet chocolate accentuates the cigar’s cocoa and earthy tones and smooths the finish for a decadent closing impression.
