Plasencia Strong Soul Generation V Salomon

Presentation: The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generación V Salomón is a visually stunning masterpiece. Its 7 x 58 Salomón vitola stands out for its elegantly curved torpedo shape, the wrapper is a dark and oily brown color, with minimal veins and an impeccable finish.

Construction: From the first look and touch, it is evident that this is a premium cigar. The cold draw reveals notes of cocoa, earth, and a slight hint of wood. Upon lighting, the smoke is rich and creamy, providing a smooth and effortless smoking experience.

Flavor: The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Generación V Salomón offers a complexity of flavors from the start. The first puffs present a mix of cocoa, dark coffee, and nuts, with a slight sweetness that balances the more robust flavors. As the smoke progresses, spicy notes emerge, with hints of black pepper and cinnamon. In the final third, the earthy and woody flavors intensify, accompanied by a creamy and subtly sweet backlash.

Strength: This is a full-bodied cigar that offers a rich and complex experience. However, the strength is managed in a balanced manner, without overwhelming the smoker.
