Plasencia Alma del Campo

Plasencia Alma del Campo is a spectacular Nicaraguan puro that beautifully honors the rich agricultural heritage of one of the tobacco industry's most legendary families. Translating directly to "Soul of the Fields," this medium-bodied smoke was released in 2017 as the highly anticipated second installment of the Alma series. The collective efforts of Néstor Andrés, Gustavo, and José Luis Plasencia brought this vision to life. By utilizing premium, environmentally conscious farming practices across their vast Nicaraguan estates, the family crafted a blend that pays direct tribute to the very land that fueled their generations of success.

Lighting up this Alma del Campo delivers an incredibly smooth and highly nuanced tasting profile. The cold draw hints at natural tobacco sweetness, while the flawless burn releases thick, aromatic clouds. Thanks to the expertly aged Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler, the draw yields deep, savory layers of roasted nuts perfectly balanced against a rich, earthy core. As the smoke progresses, subtle hints of fresh cream and warm vanilla emerge, rounding out the medium-bodied strength and ensuring a highly satisfying finish that never overwhelms the palate.

This line is heavily sought-after by aficionados who appreciate a perfectly balanced, medium-strength puro that showcases top-tier Nicaraguan terroir. A great detail about this specific release is its presentation: the cigars arrive in a gorgeous milk chocolate-colored box adorned with white designs representing the very tobacco fields where the leaves were harvested. Because these environmentally conscious, natural wrappers are highly sensitive to humidity fluctuations, we bypass traditional middlemen. Through our factory-fresh sourcing model and strict 70/70 climate control, we ship every box straight from our aging room directly to your humidor.

Pairing & Recommendations

To beautifully complement the roasted nuts, fresh cream, and vanilla tasting notes of this medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro, we highly recommend pairing it with a freshly brewed cappuccino, a lightly aged golden rum, or a smooth Speyside single malt Scotch. The roasted coffee beans or the natural vanilla cask notes in the rum will perfectly highlight the natural sweetness of the Nicaraguan filler without overpowering the delicate wrapper. This is a highly accessible, relaxing companion, making it the perfect smoke for an afternoon transition or an early evening lounge session.

Given the seamless construction of the Nicaraguan wrapper, use a razor-sharp double-guillotine cutter to cleanly remove the cap, taking care not to pinch the head. Toast the foot patiently with a soft flame or hold your torch lighter a few inches away to avoid shocking the purely Nicaraguan core. Maintain a slow, deliberate drawing cadence; puffing too fast will cause the medium-bodied tobacco to overheat, which can easily mask the subtle cream and vanilla nuances that make these cigars so incredibly enjoyable.
