Plasencia Year of the Horse Parejo Gordo / Single

The limited-edition, single size is aptly named Parejo Gordo, and it measures 7 inches by 58 ring gauge. What makes it distinct is the long, braided tail extending from the cap. Each cigar is topped with a long piece of braided tobacco that resembles a horse’s plaited (or braided) mane or tail. According to the company, making the braid is an elaborate process that involves a third roller just to make this particular cap properly. Every cigar consists of a Nicaraguan wrapper grown organically in Jalapa, Nicaraguan binder and filler blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco. All the tobacco was grown and aged by the Plasencia family.
