Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generacion V Salomon
The Alma Fuerte (Powerful Soul) series is the pinnacle of the Plasencia family, and the Generacion V Salomon is the most visually striking and challenging model in the series. The Salomon size, with its unique shape—pointed at both ends and bulging in the middle—demands an almost demanding rolling process, requiring only the factory's most skilled master rollers. This cigar uses aged Ligero tobacco from the family's private reserve, encapsulating the power and depth of Nicaragua's land in this grand work of art.

Flavor Ladder
First Flavor: Due to Salomon's unique pointed tip design, the flavor is extremely focused during initial burning, bringing a rich taste of dark chocolate, caramel, and typical Nicaraguan spices. Mid-section: As the combustion progresses into the broad belly, the amount of smoke increases dramatically, revealing complex aromas of aged leather, dark roasted coffee beans, and minerals, resulting in an extremely full-bodied spirit. Final stage: The power reaches its peak in the final stage, but thanks to the extremely high level of tobacco aging, the taste remains amazingly smooth, gracefully ending with a deep woody aroma and cocoa aftertaste.
Reasons for recommendation
- Top honor of the year: This Generacion V received a very high score of 93 points from Cigar Aficionado and ranked 9th in the 2017 list of the world's 25 best cigars.
- The ultimate rolling craftsmanship: The Salomon size is the "crown" of cigar shapes. Its complex variable diameter design allows for precise calculation of temperature and resistance for every puff, representing the highest rolling standards across the entire Parasé family's supply chain.
- The All-Ligro is breathtaking: composed entirely of tobacco leaves from Nicaragua's top growing regions, it particularly emphasizes the oiliness of the Jalapa wrapper and the power of the Estelí filler, making it a "textbook" Nicaraguan Puro in the eyes of hardcore gourmets.
Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generacion V Salomon is a two-hour culinary epic that defines the powerful aesthetics of modern premium cigars with its majestic presence and delicate evolution.
