Plasencia 5 Cigar Sampler

Dipping your toes into Plasencia's universe? This 5-cigar sampler is like speed-dating their top blends without the commitment of a full box. You'll get playground picks like the earthy Alma del Campo and powerhouse Alma Fuerte packed into one no-pressure trial pack. Medium-strength Nicaraguan/Honduran hybrids dominate the mix - expect 5"-7" sticks with assorted ring gauges, each wrapped in oily Ecuadorian leaves. At $99 for five premiums, it's an affordable intro to their 150-year-old tobacco legacy.
