Plasencia Parejo Gordo – Limited Edition Year of the Horse
The Plasencia Parejo Gordo is a truly striking limited-edition cigar, crafted in a single, imposing size: 7 inches by 58 ring gauge. Its standout feature is the long, intricately braided tail extending from the cap — a nod to the elegance of a horse’s plaited mane. This distinctive finishing touch is not just decorative but a testament to craftsmanship, requiring the skill of a third dedicated roller to create each braid by hand.
As Nestor Andrés Plasencia, fifth-generation owner of Plasencia Cigars, explains:
“The process requires twice the time of a standard cigar and precision humidity control to maintain the cap’s structural integrity. Each braid is sealed with a dual pañuelo wrap, preserving the integrity of this heirloom-quality finish.”
Beneath this exquisite presentation lies a masterful blend of organically grown Nicaraguan wrapper from Jalapa, a Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua—all cultivated and aged exclusively by the Plasencia family.
A cigar of true artistry and heritage, the Parejo Gordo offers not only exceptional flavour and balance but also a glimpse into the patience and precision that define Plasencia’s legacy.
