Plasencia Year of the Snake

The Plasencia Year of the Snake is a medium-to-full-bodied Nicaraguan puro released in 2025 as part of Plasencia’s annual Chinese New Year series. Made entirely from tobacco grown on Plasencia family farms, each box includes eight straight cigars and two intertwined culebra vitolas, symbolizing the snake. Limited to 6,000 boxes, with only 3,000 available in the U.S., this release blends cultural celebration with expert craftsmanship. Tasting notes include rich earth, baking spice, roasted coffee, and a touch of natural sweetness, all delivered with a smooth, refined balance.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Solid, but didn't move me

Brian D.07/02/2025About: Plasencia Year of the Snake 7" * 40

WOW. Just, WOW. I forgot how pricey this one was when I pulled out out of the humi, but I could tell by the taste that this is no daily smoke. Notes of vanilla and burnt marshmallow. Use a small V-cut. The draw pulls into the mouth perfectly.

Charlie M.03/29/2025About: Plasencia Year of the Snake 7" * 40

Very nice smooth cigar. Very pleasant taste and aroma

William R.01/01/2025About: Plasencia Year of the Snake 7" * 40

Favorite zodiac cigar this year so far! The unwrapped culebra had some chemical taste on the cold draw from the packaging. Moving the cigars into the humidor helped with “off gassing”. Otherwise awesome!!
