Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Thanks to its impressive 58 ring gauge, the opening is a powerful yet refreshing smoke. Rich notes of cream, toast, and vanilla sweetness quickly take over the palate, revealing an exceptionally smooth medium-bodied flavor. Mid-section: As the burnt surface stabilizes, the flavor evolves into a richer, more complex character. Aromas of roasted nuts, cocoa powder, and a hint of cinnamon intertwine, presenting the signature nutty sweetness of the Earth Soul series while maintaining exceptional smoothness throughout. Finish: As the second half progresses, aromas of espresso and leather gradually emerge, accompanied by subtle cedarwood notes. The finish is clean and rounded, leaving a long-lasting, oily aftertaste without any heavy or oppressive feeling.
Reasons for recommendation
- A master of balance among large-sized cigars: Madroño proves that large-ring gauge cigars can also possess a delicate and layered character. It has received high praise from authoritative media outlets such as the Cigar Journal , and is hailed as one of the most well-balanced models among large-sized cigars.
- The luxurious layering of aged tobacco leaves: To support its large ring gauge, the Plasencia family uses a higher proportion of aged filler tobacco leaves. This formula not only ensures absolute stability in combustion but also makes every puff feel like savoring a bottle of fine wine that has been aged for a long time.
- Pure Nicaraguan terroir: As a 100% Nicaraguan Puro, it completely eliminates human intervention, perfectly blending the sweetness of the Jalapa Valley with the power of Estelí through a fermentation technique passed down through five generations of the family.
Plasencia Alma del Campo Madroño is a grand and elegant symphony of flavors, which, with its composed character and rich connotations, takes you to experience the most tender side of Nicaragua.
