Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Sixto I Hexagon
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Sixto I Hexagon is a pinnacle of craftsmanship, perfectly blending the family's revolutionary hexagonal structure with the rare "Colorado" reddish-brown wrapper. Compared to the original's dark packaging, the Sixto I uses a reddish-brown Habanos wrapper aged for ten years in the Jalapa Valley, combined with its complex geometric pressing process. This is not merely a visual geometric revolution, but also an ultimate balance of delicate sweetness and robust power within a large-circle cigar.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Thanks to the excellent air permeability of its hexagonal structure, it releases an extremely open and cool smoke from the start. The distinct aroma of cedarwood intertwines with the characteristic brown sugar sweetness of the Colorado wrapper, with a subtle background of roasted spice notes. Mid-section: The flavor profile deepens further, revealing rich notes of cream, almond, and cinnamon. Its massive 60 ring gauge ensures an extremely smooth and stable evolution of flavor, exhibiting a complex texture that is medium to full-bodied. Finale: The finishing phase displays amazing purity, ending perfectly with soft leather, cocoa sweetness and warm earthy notes, with a lingering aftertaste that carries the characteristic oily sweetness of the Parasé family.
Reasons for recommendation
- A collision of two innovations: it not only boasts the patented Hexagonal design but also combines it with an extremely rare Colorado aged wrapper. This combination made it stand out in Cigar Aficionado 's review, earning high praise for its "excellent structure and complex sweetness."
- Temperature control with large ring gauge: The unique hexagonal pressing increases the combustion surface area, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating or overheating and bitterness that is common in traditional 60 ring gauge cigars, keeping the entire cigar in the optimal temperature range from start to finish.
- Collector's Choice Limited Edition: As a "special edition" in the Alma Fuerte series, the Sixto I has a limited production run due to its complex and time-consuming manufacturing process, making it an unmissable collectible for seasoned cigar aficionados who pursue ultimate aesthetics and top-notch flavor.
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Sixto I Hexagon is a flowing fortress of flavor, defining the art of modern premium cigars with its unique geometric shape and silky red wrapper.
