Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagon

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagon

The Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagon represents the pinnacle of the Parasé family's expertise in cigar structure and geometric aesthetics. The most striking feature of this cigar is its unique "Hexagon" pressing technique. This is not merely for visual impact, but rather, by mimicking the honeycomb structure of nature, it alters the physical properties of the tobacco leaves during combustion, resulting in a cooler and more evenly distributed flavor experience compared to traditional round or square cigars.

Flavor Ladder

Initial impressions: Thanks to the massive 60 ring gauge and hexagonal compression, the first puff of smoke exudes an astonishing sense of scale. Rich aromas of dark chocolate, cedarwood, and toasted walnuts instantly fill the mouth, with an extremely full-bodied and smooth texture. Mid-section: The flavors become increasingly deep and complex, revealing aged leather, dark roast coffee beans, and an almost sweet molasses-like undertone. The hexagonal design ensures perfect draw resistance and distinct flavor layers. Finish: Entering the latter half, the power steadily increases, showcasing a complex finish of intense spices, black pepper, and dark berries. Even during an extremely long smoking process, the smoke retains the purity characteristic of the Parasé family.

Reasons for recommendation

• World-class recognition: The Sixto II Hexagon has earned a high score of 93 points from Cigar Aficionado for its outstanding performance and has been selected as one of the world's top 25 cigars of the year, making it a recognized benchmark for innovation.
• Revolutionary geometry: The hexagonal pressing not only provides an excellent grip, but more importantly, it optimizes the direction of smoke flow, effectively preventing uneven combustion or overheating problems that are common in large ring gauge cigars.
