Storage Instructions
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagono (10) benefits from steady, controlled storage to preserve its rich Nicaraguan character and distinctive hexagonal press. Store these cigars in a well maintained humidor set to 65 to 68ºF (18 to 20ºC) and 65 to 70% relative humidity for the best balance of draw and flavor. Use a calibrated hygrometer and a reliable humidity device or two way humidity packs to maintain stability. Line the humidor with Spanish cedar if possible to support even aging and to help protect the wrappers. Keep the humidor away from direct sunlight, strong odors and rapid temperature swings. If you must transport cigars, place them in a sealed travel tube or a small travel humidor with a humidity pack rather than exposing them to dry air or heat.
Care Tips
Handle each Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagono (10) gently to protect the pressed panels and the wrapper. Avoid pinching or rolling the cigar between your fingers and cut with a sharp guillotine or a precise v cutter to preserve the cap. Before drawing, toast the foot evenly and light gradually to protect the wrapper and improve burn. Allow newly shipped cigars to rest in your humidor for at least 2 to 4 weeks so the tobaccos can settle and harmonize. This line responds well to aging, so consider cellaring specimens for 1 to 3 years to develop greater depth, and for experienced collectors up to 5 years for more complexity. Store cigars horizontally to promote even humidity absorption and avoid stacking heavy boxes on top of one another to protect the hexagonal shape. Keep your hands clean and free of lotions or strong scents when handling cigars and rotate stock occasionally to ensure consistent conditions for every stick.

Tasting Notes
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagono (10) is a full-bodied offering that opens with bold notes of dark cocoa, rich espresso crema and toasted cedar. On the midpalate it unfolds layers of aged leather, black pepper and molasses-sweet tobacco, underpinned by roasted nuts and a delicate floral spice. The hexagonal press intensifies the smoke, producing a dense, velvety mouthfeel and a long, savory finish marked by mineral earth and warm baking spice. Aromatically it presents warm vanilla, tobacco humus and a faint citrus rind on the retrohale that brightens the cigar’s richness.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged single‑barrel rum, its caramel, oak and spice notes mirror the cigar’s molasses and cedar while smoothing the finish; ristretto or rich espresso, concentrated coffee elevates the dark‑chocolate and espresso nuances and refreshes the palate between draws; 70–75% dark chocolate or an aged Manchego, bitter‑sweet chocolate harmonizes with cocoa and roasted‑nut flavors, while an aged sheep’s‑milk cheese provides a savory, salty counterpoint that highlights the cigar’s leather and spice.
