The Plasencia Year of the Dragon is the fourth release by Plasencia Cigars crafted to welcome the Chinese New Year (aka The Lunar New Year). The cigar is an all-Nicaraguan puro made from tobacco that was grown on farms owned by Plasencia. This is a limited-edition cigar that is handmade by Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua. The cigars wear three bands that symbolize the Dragon and feature the Plasencia brand. They are stored in a collectible box that represents the Dragon. In the Chinese Zodiac, one of the many traits the Dragon represents is a drive for achieving exceptional standards of excellence. According to Nestor Andres Plasencia, CEO of Plasencia Cigars, “the Dragon is an animal that perfectly represents our family’s drive for excellence.”
