Plasencia Alma Fuerte Cigar Review and Pairing
Looking for a top notch pairing to try at home? Join Anthony as he sparks up the Plasencia Alma Fuerte, a bold and refined Nicaraguan blend from a Legendary cigar family, pairing it with Michter's American Whiskey.
Strong in soul, as its Spanish translation implies, the Placencia Alma Fuerte is a true embodiment of Nicaragua's tobacco heritage boasting four different tobacco-growing regions. Discover the luscious notes of Ginger Snap, cinnamon, and the sweet undertones of molasses that this meticulously aged, premium cigar carries. This creation from the largest growers of premium tobacco in Central America, the Placencia family, brings together aged excellence and refined flavors of Nicaraguan blends.
Adding the perfect finishing touch, Anthony pairs this Nicaraguan gem with Michter's American Whiskey. This pairing beautifully mirrors the balanced intensity of the Alma Fuerte that delivers broad flavors without overwhelming the palate.
So, grab your favorite cigar, kick back and enjoy!

There can’t be many people at the factory that can roll that shape. Very impressive. Kudos to the torcedores 💥👍🏼👍🏼
My favorite is the hexagonal size. 6x60
Finally you did it Ant. You reviewed my absolute favorite cigar and I thank you highly for it. I respect your opinion on cigars over all others. Where do I begin? You basically said it all except I’m going to add one more perfect pairing of this review….your choice in attire, lol. I’m big on their hexagon boxed press Alma Fuerte. Such a rich and desirable flavor. Dark and classy, kinda like that jacket and the decor of the room. Thank you Anthony for sharing your experience. P.S. You have the best job in the world. Hahaha, Merry Christmas

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas!
This the best Plasencia cigar. This cigar that you are smoking is the first Plasencia cigar I ever smoked.
The Plasencia Almo del Campo was the second cigar I ever smoked, and it has pretty much made everything else pale in comparison. I cant wait to try the Fuerte!
What a beautiful stick. Thanks for sharing Mazz.
One of my all time favorite sticks, top 4
I’m new to cigars. Keep seeing this one at my store. Will most definitely grab a few to try.
Great review of a great cigar! One of my favorites
Anthony , I appreciate you brother. I love this cigar and Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua No. 2 . Watching your videos easy, relaxing and very informative. Keep up the excellent work and thinks for introducing me to these cigars 🤙
Awesome review. Especially the difference in shapes and sizes. You have alot of knowledge in cigars and liquor pairings.
That’s a great pairing Mazz. Two of my favorites, Plasencia and Michter’s.
I fucking love your content it makes me wanna smoke and drink every time
The salamon fuerte is my favorite plasencia 👍👍
One of my favourite cigars 🇬🇧♥️
I truly love this blend. Tend to pair it with cordon Bleu.
This is my absolute favourite cigar. I loved every minute of your video 👌🏻

That whiskey good call.. Paired it with the Placencia 151
Thanks for sharing this and your insights, I will definitely be trying this cigar. I always enjoy your videos!
Excellent review as always Mazz! I have a few sitting in my humidor I’m waiting to try!
Just had this for the first time a couple months ago… now in my top 4 favorite cigars all time… can’t wait to smoke another … great video
Nice brake down of the Plasencia
Love these videos
Sounds like a great pairing! I almost exclusively pair whiskeys with my cigars, so I'll definitely have to try this combo
I picked this up two days ago ! I can’t wait to smoke it. All the older guys told me to hold on to my butt and have a piece a chocolate or cola near by 😅😅
Smoking this stick now in honour of Bradley Reith. I like to watch cigar videos along and Holt's had the best vid out! Love to hear the history behind the tobacco grower, while entering the second third. Molasses indeed!!!!
Awesome cigar and a good pour 👍🏼 Greetings from S.A 🇿🇦
I’m having Michter’s Rye and a Romeo y Julieta ENVY. 🥃
Great review sir

Im a combination of you and him. I only smoke 2-3 cigars a week, usually on weekends watching football, and I enjoy a glass of Four Roses bourbon ( neat) with a beer as a chaser. Heaven can’t possibly be as good as that can it?
I just had one of these with a tiny bite of a Leonidas bourbon chocolate, a sip of Japanese Suntory whisky, finished by the cigar and it created a wild explosion of flavors. I can taste the pepper on the alma fuerte and it combines great with the other two ingredients.

Great vid Mazz… Special request, I trust your palate. Would love to see you do a review of my No. 1 fav cigar… Davidoff Royal Release. Dont think I ever saw you review it. Keep that great content coming. You have A LOT of fans up here in Toronto, Canada!
My favorite cigar 🔥
Great video. I was recently gifted a Plasencia Alma Fuerte Robusto. I’m looking forward to smoking it. As for pairing, I’m a big Michters whiskey fan. I’ve yet to try the American whiskey but love the Sour Mash, Bourbon, and Straight Rye. I’ll be pairing my smoke with the US1 bourbon. Cheers!

@holtscigars You're welcome. It looks like just one cigar store carries this cigar brand near me. I look forward to seeing if it is in stock.
Really liking your content and you're giving Mr.Herklots a run for his money on the tailored suits. #KeepItLIT 🥃🔥🔥💨💨💨

Would you pair the Michter's American Whickey with the Alma del Fuego?
Just smoked one last night with my friend for his birthday it was nice
Not my favorite blend, but the construction on these are as good as it gets. Then, they throw in the Hex Pressed and Salomon to make it extra clear how much skill and artistry went into these.
Anthony I would love to visit your shop and meet you someday👍🏻

Charging 28 buck a my local shop.
I started smoking cigars at 16yrs old. I'm 63 yrs old now. I have never smelled or tasted any of these aromas. Am I doing something wrong. I just know what I like...

At the end of the day that's what it's all about - enjoyment. You can love wine without trying to pinpoint all the different flavors, same goes with cigars
