Experience
I was excited to try the Alma Fuerte Sixto II from Plasencia. I have seen the hype on social media and have heard great things from my friends who have enjoyed this cigar. That being said…. this cigar did not disappoint. The construction was impeccable providing a razor-sharp burn, tight white ash, and most impressive was I could put this cigar down for a period of time and it was still lit when I picked it up. The flavors of chocolate, iced tea, leather, and a slight saltiness ran throughout the experience. The flavors did not change much, but with the balance and complexity from start to finish, they didn’t need to change. The smoothness of this cigar reminded me of cigars that have been aged to perfection.
Pairing
A comfortable chair. Just sit and take your time with this cigar. If you are going to pair it with a beverage, an espresso would go nicely with this cigar at midday or a full flavor rum like Mount Gay XO.
