Storage Instructions
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexágono (10) should be stored in a well maintained humidor to preserve its Nicaraguan tobaccos and unique hexagonal form. Aim for 65 to 70% relative humidity, with a sweet spot near 68% for balance between richness and burn. Keep temperature steady between 65 and 70ºF (18 to 21ºC), ideally about 68ºF (20ºC). Avoid rapid fluctuations in humidity and temperature, and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from heating or cooling vents. Give the Hexágono cigars a little room so their facets do not press tightly against other sticks. For short term travel, use a quality travel humidor or airtight case with a humidification element rather than relying on plastic bags or refrigeration.
Care Tips
Handle the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexágono (10) gently to protect the wrapper and the angular edges. Pick up the cigar by the foot or mid-body and avoid rolling it between your fingers. Because of the hexagonal shape, use a sharp guillotine cutter or a well sized punch to make a clean opening without crushing the cap. Toast the foot evenly before drawing to promote an even burn. These cigars are enjoyable right out of the box, yet they also respond well to careful aging. Letting them rest in a stable humidor for three to twelve months will allow the flavors to integrate and soften any aggressive notes. If a cigar becomes too dry, rehydrate it slowly over several days to a week to avoid wrapper cracks. If it feels overly moist, allow a slight drop in humidity and give the cigar time to rebalance before lighting. Regularly monitor your humidor and rotate your stock so each Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexágono (10) receives even aging and remains in prime smoking condition.

History and Heritage
Plasencia is a family owned name with deep roots in tobacco growing that span generations and multiple growing regions. Alma Fuerte reflects that heritage, a blend crafted to showcase the family farms and their matured leaf selection. The naming of Sixto likely honors a member of the Plasencia family and the Hexágono designation signals a distinctive vitola and presentation that aims to concentrate flavor and change the way the smoke opens up on the palate. This release builds on Plasencia’s reputation for meticulous farming and careful blending, making it a good pick for smokers who appreciate craftsmanship and a bold, complex cigar.
Tasting Notes
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexágono (10) is unmistakably full-bodied, presenting an assertive yet refined profile from first light. Black pepper and toasted oak open the experience, quickly unfolding into layers of dark cocoa, rich espresso and savory leather, while mid-palate notes of roasted nuts and a touch of molasses add depth and balance. Aromas of warm baking spice, cedar and damp earth fill the room, lending a complex, inviting bouquet. The finish is long and savory, leaving lingering bittersweet chocolate and a gentle, lingering spice on the palate.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Nicaraguan or Venezuelan rum, its molasses, caramel and spice notes complement the cigar’s cocoa and earthy undertones while smoothing the peppery edges; A short espresso or ristretto, concentrated coffee echoes the cigar’s espresso and roasted notes and refreshes the palate between draws; 70–80% dark chocolate or an aged hard cheese like Manchego, the bittersweet chocolate heightens the cigar’s cocoa and nutty elements, while the cheese adds a savory, creamy counterpoint to the cigar’s structure.
