The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robustus I is the shortest smoke of the Alma Fuerte line, and like all the cigars belonging to this line, it features tobaccos undergoing a ten-year aging process. Is it sold in 10 count black boxes with golden lettering. The same visuals are chosen for the band as well. We also reviewed the Sixto II Hexágono and the Nestor IV Toro.
The cigars are dressed in an oily Maduro leaf. The filling is generous, and the cigars are very well made. They are box-pressed and wear three bands: one with the Plasencia “P” logo, one with the extended “Plasencia” and the name of the line, and one more on the foot that reminds you that you are smoking the “Alma Fuerte” line.
