History of Plasencia Cigars

The Plasencia cigar story began in 1865 when Don Eduardo Plasencia planted tobacco seeds in Cuba’s storied Vuelta Abajo. By the 1920s, the Plasencia family’s tobacco concern was providing tobacco to clients around the world. However, during the 1960s, the Fidel Castro regime took control of the Plasencia family’s holding, forcing the family to flee first to Mexico and then to Nicaragua.

Plasencia-grown tobacco was once again thriving by the late 1960s in Nicaragua. However, amid the Nicaraguan Revolution in 1978, Sandinistas burned all of the Plasencia family’s farms. As a result, the family fled to neighboring Honduras, again forced to replant tobacco. Yet the 1990s saw the Plasencias return to Nicaragua, giving the Plasencia family vast farms in both countries. The combined tobacco farms made Plasencia the largest tobacco producer in the world, supplying tobacco to dozens of the industry’s top cigar makers. Finally, in 2017, the first Plasencia-branded cigar hit the market, starting a run of releases that have garnered high praise from industry insiders and everyday cigar smokers alike.
