Storage Instructions
To preserve the character of the PLASENCIA Alma Fuerte Colorado Robustus II (10) store these cigars in a stable humidor set to an ideal relative humidity of 65 to 70 percent and a temperature of 68 to 70ºF (20 to 21ºC). This Nicaraguan blend with a Colorado wrapper responds well to steady conditions that keep the wrapper supple and the core tobaccos balanced. Keep cigars away from direct sunlight and rapid temperature swings to avoid expansion and contraction that can cause cracking or uneven burn. For short term storage under two weeks you can use a small travel humidor or two way humidification packs inside a sealed container, but for long term aging a well seasoned wooden humidor or cabinet is best.
Care Tips
Handle the PLASENCIA Alma Fuerte Colorado Robustus II (10) gently to protect the wrapper and cap, and avoid squeezing or pinching when removing from the humidor. Allow newly purchased cigars to acclimate for at least one to two weeks in your humidor, with four weeks preferred if they are coming from a wide range of climates. Because this robust vitola delivers concentrated flavor it can benefit from additional aging of six months to two years to mellow and integrate its profile, though many smokers enjoy it right away. When ready to smoke, cut with a sharp cutter and toast the foot evenly to promote a steady burn and true flavor development.
Reviews and Ratings
There is limited coverage for this exact Robustus II vitola, but the Plasencia Alma Fuerte line has earned positive attention from respected magazines such as Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel for its depth and construction. Expert commentary on other Alma Fuerte sizes highlights consistent draw, even burns, and a flavor profile that leans toward cedar, cocoa, leather and warm baking spice. Enthusiasts on retailer pages and cigar forums tend to echo those impressions and often praise the line for offering a satisfying full bodied experience without losing balance. If you follow the brand, the Alma Fuerte family is generally regarded as a reliable, well built expression from Plasencia.
History and Heritage
Plasencia is a multi generational tobacco house known for growing and blending its own leaf across Nicaragua and Honduras. The Alma Fuerte series was developed to showcase estate grown tobaccos and the house approach to careful blending and aging. The Colorado wrapper on this Robustus II contributes a medium to full profile with natural sweetness and woodsy notes while the filler and binder reflect Plasencia craft and consistency. The result is a cigar aimed at smokers who appreciate rich, structured flavors delivered in a neatly proportioned robusto.
Tasting Notes
The PLASENCIA Alma Fuerte Colorado Robustus II (10) announces itself as predominantly full-bodied, offering a sophisticated balance of power and nuance. Initial draws present concentrated espresso and dark cocoa that give way to core notes of supple leather, cedar and toasted oak, while a warm undercurrent of roasted almond and molasses lends a gentle sweetness. Mid‑palate pepper and baking spice rise and fall against a creamy, slightly nutty texture, with layers unfolding rather than rushing. The finish is long and savory, leaving lingering aromas of warm spice and bittersweet chocolate on the retrohale.
Pairing Suggestions
Añejo aged rum (12–18 years), its caramel, dried-fruit and toasted-vanilla tones mirror the cigar’s molasses and oak, amplifying warmth and rounding the spice; Ristretto or a bold espresso, concentrated coffee brightness cuts through the richness and echoes the cigar’s dark cocoa and espresso notes for a harmonious contrast; 70–75% dark chocolate or a tawny port, bittersweet chocolate complements the cocoa and leather while a tawny port’s dried-fruit sweetness balances the spice and extends the finish.
