Description
Plasencia Alma del Cielo Amanecer Hexagon is a 6 x 60 Nicaraguan puro in the Alma del Cielo line, pressed into Plasencia’s signature hexagon shape and blended for a long, creamy, medium‑full ride of cocoa, coffee, and spice. It is positioned as a high‑end, regular‑production Gordo that showcases high‑altitude Nicaraguan tobacco with a lot of complexity and strong visual shelf appeal.
