Plasencia Alma del Campo Sendero
Plasencia Alma del Campo Sendero (Soul of the Earth - Path) means "path" in Spanish, symbolizing the path of exploration leading to the depths of Nicaraguan tobacco fields. This cigar features the long and classic Churchill size, the model in the entire series that best embodies the philosophy of "richness and time." Through its elongated shape, the Sendero allows the tobacco leaves to undergo a richer thermal evolution during the long smoking process, bringing out the creamy smoothness and balance characteristic of the Soul of the Earth series to its fullest.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Due to the slender shape of the Churchill, the opening flavors are extremely elegant and restrained. Light toasted cream, cedarwood, and a subtle sweetness of dried fruit intertwine, while the smoke is cool and highly penetrating. Mid-course: As the combustion progresses, the flavor profile steadily builds. The mid-course reveals rich aromas of walnut, espresso, and mild cinnamon. This evolution is akin to strolling along a tobacco field path in Nicaragua, with distinct layers and a wonderful rhythm. Finish: As we move into the second half, the power remains at a medium intensity, with aromas of leather and dark chocolate gradually taking over. The finish has a signature nutty aftertaste, and the texture remains velvety smooth throughout, without any impurities.
Reasons for recommendation
- The Art of Time and Evolution: Sendero offers a tasting experience of over 90 minutes. Its size allows the tobacco to cool sufficiently during a slow burn, enabling the sweetness of the Jalapa wrapper and the balance of the filler to develop layer by layer, providing seasoned cigar aficionados with the perfect window to gauge the quality of the blend.
- A frequent recipient of high scores: As a core member of the Alma del Campo series, it has repeatedly won high scores of 90 points or above in various cigar media reviews, and has been praised for "showcasing the extremely complex and elegant side of Nicaraguan tobacco".
- Complete self-control: Every Sendero originates from the Parasé family's vertically integrated supply chain. From seed selection to the stringent rolling standards required for the Churchill model, it demonstrates the family's absolute commitment to high-quality cigars across five generations.
Plasencia Alma del Campo Sendero is an elegant long journey that takes you on a deep dive into the most gentle and profound sensory landscapes of Nicaragua with its soothing pace and ever-changing flavors.
