Plasencia Alma del Cielo Amanecer

The Amanecer opens with a bright and elegant profile of orange blossom honey, toasted almonds, and a delicate layer of white pepper through the retrohale. The first third is light and floral, with subtle nuances of vanilla cream and lemon zest. As the cigar transitions into the second third, the body builds into medium strength with emerging flavors of light caramel, chamomile tea, buttered pecans, and a clean mineral salinity. The final third introduces richer notes of espresso crema, cedar wood, and a refined touch of dried apricot, ending with a crisp, elegant finish that remains balanced and smooth.
