Six Generations of Nicaraguan Tobacco
Buy Plasencia cigars in the UK from a family that has been growing tobacco since 1865: the Plasencia family are among the most respected names in the industry, having supplied leaf to brands like Davidoff and Rocky Patel for decades before releasing cigars under their own name.
The family's history runs through Cuba, Honduras, and Mexico before settling permanently in Nicaragua, and that depth of experience shows in the blends. Plasencia's own-label cigars, including the Alma Fuerte and Cosecha lines, are built from aged, estate-grown tobacco with the kind of consistency you would expect from a family that has spent a century and a half perfecting the craft.
Because the family has spent so long growing for other people, their own-label cigars tend to showcase tobacco most brands would keep for blending rather than release. The Alma Fuerte line leans full and complex, built from some of the estate's oldest reserves, while the Cosecha series is built around a single harvest year, giving each release its own distinct character.
At Toro Puro, we carry Plasencia for smokers who want serious Nicaraguan cigar pedigree, from the layered Alma Fuerte Salomon to the more approachable Cosecha 151, or try our Nicaraguan sampler to compare before committing to a box.

FAQ
Who is behind Plasencia cigars?
The Plasencia family, tobacco growers since 1865 and long-time suppliers to major brands, who now also produce cigars under their own name in Nicaragua.
What are Plasencia cigars like?
Layered and well-aged, built from estate-grown Nicaraguan tobacco, ranging from the fuller Alma Fuerte to the more balanced Cosecha line.
What does 'Cosecha' mean on a Plasencia cigar?
Cosecha means harvest in Spanish. Plasencia's Cosecha line is built from tobacco of a single harvest year, so the number refers to that year rather than a blend name.
