Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagon

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto II Hexagon is the 6 x 60 hexágono in Plasencia's Alma Fuerte line. Plasencia describes dark chocolate and ripe plum with cinnamon, finishing on oak and molasses. Plasencia says the size names honor the family's founders, Sixto II and Néstor Sr., and that the V marks today's fifth generation.

Alma Fuerte, “strong soul,” was the first line of Plasencia's Alma series, launched in October 2016 at the Carnegie Club in New York, Cigar Aficionado reported. It is a Nicaraguan puro: a dark, shade-grown Jalapa wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler from Condega, Estelí, Jalapa and Ometepe, mostly Criollo '98 drawn from the family's aged reserves. It is rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí and packed 10 to a box whose lid doubles as an ashtray.

The Sixto II is a 6 x 60 hexágono, pressed into six sides, and one of the three original 2016 sizes. At launch Plasencia called the hexagon nature's most perfect shape, Cigar Aficionado reported. Cigar Aficionado scored the Sixto II 89 points in December 2020 and rated it full in its 2019 review.
