Plasencia has a unique relationship with the land, known for its ability to consistently cultivate the highest quality leaf, leading to game-changing flavor, construction and presentation. El Año Del Caballo (Year of the Horse) was produced in Nicaragua and features a striking braided “tail” that extends from the cap down to the band, which is meant to mimic the majesty of a horse’s mane. Each of these limited-edition cigars are sized at a commanding 7x58 and offers a twist on the typical Nicaraguan puro, with additional filler tobacco from Honduras included in the blend for added complexity.
Néstor Andrés Plasencia said of the cigar in a press release: “The horse embodies independence, resilience, and forward motion. El Año del Caballo is more than a cigar—it is a tribute to mastery in motion. From the rare, braided finish to the power and balance of the blend, this release reflects our legacy and our relentless drive to innovate.”
Beyond its visual flair, the blend is a sophisticated journey for the palate, unveiling a complex flavor progression moving from an earthy, spice-forward opening to a richer, sweeter finish. Expect an initial draw of oak and cumin. From there, the cigar transitions with a hint of aromatic cardamom, earthy notes, and toasted walnut, and a lingering finish of dark chocolate and sun-dried raisins, the signature of its well-aged, harmonious Nicaraguan and Honduran filler blend.
Housed in a striking red lacquer box accented with gold—symbols of prosperity and fortune—this release is as much a collector’s treasure as it is a luxury smoke. With only 6,000 10-count boxes in production globally, Plasencia El Año Del Caballo is a museum-grade rarity worth chasing. It offers a standard of exclusivity, richness and a depth of flavor unlike anything you’ve ever experienced in a yearly release. Secure your box from Cigars.com today.
