Plasencia Year of the Dragon
Plasencia’s offering for the Chinese New Year is the only Nicaraguan puro on the list of Year of the Dragon cigars and consists entirely of leaves grown on farms owned by the company. Measuring 6 1/2 by 54, this torpedo comes in boxes of 10. Production is limited to just 3,000 boxes, with half allocated for the United States and the other half for the international market.
The Plasencia Year of the Dragon is the fourth release by Plasencia Cigars crafted to welcome the Chinese New Year (aka The Lunar New Year). The cigar is an all-Nicaraguan puro made from tobacco that was grown on farms owned by Plasencia. This is a limited-edition cigar that is handmade by Plasencia Cigars in Nicaragua. The cigars wear three bands that symbolize the Dragon and feature the Plasencia brand. They are stored in a collectible box that represents the Dragon. In the Chinese Zodiac, one of the many traits the Dragon represents is a drive for achieving exceptional standards of excellence. According to Nestor Andres Plasencia, CEO of Plasencia Cigars, “the Dragon is an animal that perfectly represents our family’s drive for excellence.”
