Plasencia Alma del Cielo
Plasencia Alma del Cielo Review
From the first light, the Plasencia Alma del Cielo completely captivated me. It’s bold yet refined — a perfectly orchestrated dance of rich espresso, dark chocolate, and earthy spice with just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more. The balance, construction, and depth of flavor make this one of Plasencia’s most impressive releases yet. Every puff reminded me why I love what I do with this club — moments like these, when a cigar stops time and reminds you that perfection can be rolled in leaf and fire.
