Plasencia Alma del Campo Travesía

Plasencia Alma del Campo Travesía (Soul of the Earth - Journey) is a box-pressed, large-ring gauge cigar designed for those seeking ultimate fullness and a long, enjoyable sipping experience. Travesía means "a journey across or a long distance," symbolizing the nearly two-hour flavor exploration this cigar offers. Precisely pressed from the traditional Gordo size, it not only provides a more comfortable grip but also, through alterations in physical structure, releases the aromas of Nicaraguan's finest aged tobacco leaves in a more concentrated and layered manner.

Flavor Ladder

Initial impressions: Thanks to the perfect draw resistance provided by the box-pressing process, a rich yet cool vapor is released from the start. The distinct aromas of toasted sweet biscuits, cream, and a hint of vanilla intertwine, presenting an extremely composed opening. Mid-section: As the "journey" progresses, the flavors become richer and fuller. The mid-section is dominated by rich aromas of walnut, dark roast coffee beans, and warm leather, interspersed with earthy sweetness characteristic of Nicaraguan tobacco. Finish: Entering the second half, the power remains steadily between medium and rich, showcasing a complex aftertaste of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Even at the end of the large size, it maintains an amazing purity, with a lingering sweetness tinged with a hint of oiliness.

Reasons for recommendation

• Five generations of craftsmanship: Each Travesía is the culmination of the Parasé family's entire supply chain. It uses aged tobacco leaves from the family's private reserves, perfectly integrating and elevating the terroir characteristics of different regions in Nicaragua through this long-length cigar.
