Plasencia Year of The Dragon
Celebrating the Chinese New Year with a limited-edition Nicaraguan puro.
Plasencia Cigars, known for their dedication to quality and innovation, is excited to introduce their latest commemorative cigar: the "Year of The Dragon". This special release celebrates the Chinese New Year, specifically 2024, the Year of the Dragon.
The Year of the Dragon marks Plasencia’s fourth Lunar New Year-themed release. This tradition began in 2021 with the Year of the Ox, followed by the Year of the Tiger in 2022, and the Year of the Rabbit in 2023. Each release has been highly anticipated, and the Year of the Dragon promises to be no exception.
The Year of the Dragon is a large torpedo, measuring 165 mm in length with a 54 ring gauge. It is crafted entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco, meticulously grown by the Plasencia family throughout Nicaragua and expertly rolled at their factory in Estelí. This blend offers a medium to full-bodied experience, with rich flavors of cedar, leather, and earth, complemented by hints of spice on the finish. Consistent with Plasencia’s reputation, the cigar is exceptionally balanced and smooth, making it a standout release for 2024.
This limited-edition cigar comes packaged in traditional Chinese pillow boxes, a nod to the Qing dynasty era. Historically, these boxes were used to store valuables and were designed with a concave lid for the owner to rest their head on, deterring theft. The Year of the Dragon boxes, however, are luxuriously decorated with intricate designs, enhancing their collectible appeal.
Production is limited to just 3,000 boxes, each containing 10 cigars. Half of these boxes will be available in the United States, while the other half will be distributed globally. This exclusive release ensures that only a select number of aficionados will have the opportunity to enjoy this unique blend.
Nestor Andrés Plasencia, CEO of the family-owned company, expresses his enthusiasm: “The dragon is an animal that perfectly represents our family’s drive for excellence. We look forward to celebrating the Chinese New Year with the public via this special offering.”
The Plasencia Year of the Dragon is poised to be one of the most notable cigar releases of 2024, promising a memorable and exquisite smoking experience. Don’t miss the chance to add this exceptional cigar to your collection and join in the Lunar New Year celebration with Plasencia.
