The Plasencia Ehtefal was specially crafted to celebrate, “...that we can meet again. Just as the roots of tobacco come together and become stronger, we too are stronger together. We wish to celebrate this momentous occasion taking place in Qatar with the Plasencia Ehtefal,” said Nestor Andres Plasencia in a company press release. The cigar made its debut in Qatar, and it was launched just prior to the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup (the cigar is not a World Cup cigar, nor will it be exclusively available in Qatar). The Ehtefal cigar sports a savory reddish Nicaraguan Sun-grown wrapper covering a Honduran binder and a filler composed of Honduran and Nicaraguan leaves. The tobaccos used for this blend were grown on farms owned by Plasencia Cigars. The filler’s leaves have been carefully aged for ten years. Handmade in Nicaragua, this is a medium bodied cigar with a rich complexity of flavors and creates a memorable smoking experience. “Ehtefal” is the Arabic word for “celebration.”
