Plasencia Year of the Horse 7″ * 58

A braided cap and large 7 x 58 format define the Plasencia Year of the Horse, a limited Nicaraguan release also known as Plasencia El Año del Caballo. Produced in Nicaragua and packaged in 10-count boxes, this edition was limited to 6,000 boxes worldwide, making it a finite annual release within the Plasencia portfolio.

The blend features a Jalapa-grown Nicaraguan wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. The distinctive braid extending from the cap is applied as a separate finishing step and is designed to resemble a horse’s tail, a detail that visually separates it from standard parejos. The flavor character generally leans toward wood, earth, and darker natural sweetness, with spice building gradually as the cigar progresses.

This size favors an extended smoking window and works well as a deliberate after-dinner selection. It suits collectors seeking limited Plasencia cigars as well as smokers who appreciate larger ring gauges for a slower pace. If stronger profiles are also in rotation, this can hold its place as a substantial evening option.

Pair with aged rum or a straight espresso.
