In October 2016, Plasencia 1865—which is the Miami-based distribution network for Plasencia branded cigars—debuted its first line named Alma Fuerte. One of the three vitolas in the line was a very unusually shaped size named Sixto, a 6 x 60 gordo that featured a hexagon box-press, meaning there are six sides instead of the normal four sides that most box-pressed cigars have.

Last December, Plasencia started shipping a new version of the Sixto, this time wrapped in a 10-year-aged Colorado claro wrapper grown on the company’s farms in Jalapa, Nicaragua. While the wrapper is different from the original version, most other details remained the same: the internal blend is still made up of all Nicaraguan tobacco, the price is still $21 each and it is still being sold in hexagonally-shaped 10-count boxes.

“When we created the hexagon shaped vitola, we did it with the intent to push the boundaries of cigar making,” said Nestor Andrés Plasencia, ceo of Plasencia 1865, in a press release. “The Colorado Claro wrapper adds a different dimension to this already unique cigar. We proudly look forward to exposing the public to the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon.”

The Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon Colorado Claro is rolled at the Plasencia Cigars S.A. factory in Nicaragua.
