Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6 1/4 * 54, Box of 8

The Plasencia Year of the Tiger cigar is the second release from this century-old cigar crafter that celebrates the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year). Each year is represented by a character from the Chinese zodiac. According to the zodiac, the tiger represents these traits: resolve, confidence, perseverance and self-motivated. Qualities that have helped the Plasencia family survive and thrive in the cigar industry since 1865. The cigar is a Nicaraguan puro that features a dark chocolatey maduro wrapper, and it is made from tobacco that has been aged for ten years. It offers a medium bodied smoking experience. Handmade in Nicaragua, the Plasencia Year of the Tiger is a limited-release cigar.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.

smooth and nice smoke

Morgan S.08/30/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

The stick I tried tasted like it'd been marinating in the spice vat since the year of the ox

Joe S.08/01/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

Beautiful wrapper and excellent draw!!

ANDREW P.05/08/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

Excellent Plasencia quality. Great smoke.

Webster G.04/28/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

Expensive but worth every cent: best smoke so far this year 2022!

Marcus H.04/22/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

Beautiful experience!!! Definitely one cigar to keep in the humidor!

Ronnie P.04/18/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

PHENOMENAL! I'm usually skeptical of cigars over ~$20 or so. With many there's a point where quality peaks and it's all diminishing returns beyond that. But this is one of the few I can vouch for. Amazing all around and worth every penny!

04/02/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

One of the best cigars that i have had in recent memory

Mike A.03/15/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

A much anticipated cigar. But for $40 there's a better choice out there.

Matthew M.03/10/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

One of the best cigars I've ever had. It's like an even more rich Alma Del Campo. Phenomenal.

Kevin H.02/28/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

Solid cigar but with a hefty price tag, but one I had to try at least once.

Glen W.02/27/2022About: Plasencia Year of the Tiger 6"1/4 * 54

This is a solid cigar. Not sure if its worth the price tag.
