Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Claro Eduardo I opens with a medium-to-full-bodied profile, immediately presenting notes of creamy cedar, toasted almonds, and subtle cocoa layered over a vibrant earthy base. Early draws reveal gentle black pepper, hints of nutmeg, and soft caramel sweetness, while the retrohale accentuates complexity with light leather, delicate floral notes, and a whisper of cinnamon that enhances the depth without overpowering. As the cigar progresses into the midsection, flavors of roasted walnut, mild espresso, and smooth honeyed tobacco develop, wrapped in a velvety, balanced texture that tempers the spice while highlighting the cigar’s natural richness. The final third introduces nuances of charred oak, bittersweet chocolate, and lingering black pepper, leaving a long, satisfying finish with subtle sweetness that gracefully fades.

Construction and Draw
The Ecuadorian Colorado Claro wrapper is silky, medium-brown with a light oil sheen, expertly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan fillers. The Eduardo I vitola is precisely rolled with an even pack and flawless cap, providing an effortless draw that produces dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains straight and consistent, while the ash forms firm, light-gray columns that hold well.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
An ideal pairing is GlenDronach 15 Year Revival, whose rich sherry sweetness, dried fruit, and subtle spice notes complement the cigar’s cedar, almond, and cocoa profile while enhancing its layered complexity.
