Unique from cap to foot, this hexagon box-pressed cigar earned itself a spot as the Top 10 cigar at Cigar Aficionado in 2017 thanks to its unusual construction and bold flavors. Although the blend utilized to make this bolder Black version of the Alma Fuerte line remains entirely undisclosed, we do know that it is 100% Plasencia farmed down in Nicaragua, and that the tobacco that makes it all possible is aged for at least a decade.

Heaping rich, syrupy flavors of molasses on the tongue, and then leaving the palate and nose with a smooth, mineral and leather finish, this medium-to-full blend is unlike anything else we stock at Klaro.

Crafted to mimic the iconic honeycomb, Plasencia claims that the shape of the cigar itself serves a functional purpose, as it helps channel smoke flow and encourages a cooler burn. Regardless of whether or not you buy that bit of marketing jargon, you cannot ignore the fact that this vitola is a looker, and it has the blend cred to back up all those creased good looks. Six sides, six points, and a fatty 60 ring-gauge all in one place amount to one hell of a first impression. 

The Plasencia Alma del Cielo Boreal is a luxurious expression of Nicaraguan craftsmanship, handcrafted with tobaccos cultivated at some of the highest elevations in the country. Measuring 6.12 x 54, this elegant cigar delivers a refined medium-bodied profile with notes of creamy cedar, roasted nuts, baking spices, cocoa, and a touch of citrus sweetness, creating a complex yet exceptionally smooth smoking experience.

Made entirely from premium Nicaraguan tobaccos, including a beautifully aged Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and fillers, the Alma del Cielo Boreal showcases the Plasencia family's generations of expertise. Its impeccable construction ensures an even burn and effortless draw, making it an outstanding choice for aficionados seeking balance, complexity, and the signature richness that has made Plasencia one of the most respected names in premium cigars.

Plasencia Alma del Campo is a complex smoke with a perfect balance delivering notes of coffee and nuts. This is a very creamy cigar with a touch of spice. The finish leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

That Colorado Rosado-colored wrapper you see slapped on the outside of this medium-strength stick is actually an Ecuador-grown habano leaf from the Oliva family. The blend also includes one ligero leaf inside for added kick, and is comprised primarily of viso leaves instead of milder seco for a more vibrant cigar flavor profile.

The result is a superbly made premium cigar blend that is both aesthetically stunning and tasty. With its earthy, woody, and nutty flavors, the 1502 Ruby is a treasure once lit. It is also an outstanding burner, which is no surprise being that Plasencia handles all production of the 1502 line for Global Premium Cigars down in Nicaragua.

Artista Falu is so named for the red barns of Northern Europe and the United States that stand out in rich contrast to their pastoral surroundings. It features a toothy and rich Broadleaf wrapper sourced from a generations-old family farm. For the binder they selected an Indonesian leaf which adds a touch of sweetness, with a filler blend that balances flavor and strength.

Tasting notes: hints of hay and aged hardwood, dried cranberries, and finishes with cracked pepper and notes of sweet Dominican rum.

Tasting Notes:

If you're looking for a unique smoking experience, look no further. As the name states, the tobacco is fire cured, and it packs a punch. Exploding with hefty flavors of oak, hickory, and maple, with malty mocha and herbal notes to follow, this blend is built to coat the taste buds and keep you coming back for more.

The ideal time to appreciate this cigar is after a strong meal.

Altar Q is a celebration of Honduran tobaccos and is inspired by the prehistoric Mayan culture that dominated Honduras and Central America for centuries. 

This cigar's warm flavors include hints of hearty bread, cream, nuts, and exotic spices. A medium-strength, delicious smoke with a Honduran binder and filler grown near the ruins of the once vibrant Mayan civilization. Covered by a light-brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, and cloaked in recycled tobacco leaf paper, each cigar in a box of Altar Q receives a unique print and is numbered to represent a dynasty of sixteen Mayan rulers from that era.

Tasting Notes:

From the industry giant, Cohiba, comes this smooth, medium bodied cigar. Boasting mostly sweet notes of caramel, cinnamon, and cocoa, this lighter wrapper is anything but subtle. 

The Blackened "Shade to Black S84" is a follow-up collaboration with James Hetfield as an homage to Metallica’s song “Fade to Black," and a follow-up hit to the original Blackened M81 Maduro.

This lighter version produces a smooth, creamy smoking session that is well-balanced, with hints of leather and spice, along with a touch of sweetness. Its intriguing internal blend consists of a USA-bred Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a filler mixture made of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro leaves, all covered by a warm Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. This medium-strength smoke is renowned for producing both nuanced and not-so-subtle flavors that are sure to get any metalhead banging!

Lauded for being the first mass-produced, hand-rolled bourbon barrel-aged premium cigar blend on the planet, the Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne is an OG smoke that keeps on delivering the goods. Blended with 6-year-aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos inside, and cloaked in a Connecticut Shade wrapper that has been aged in bourbon barrels for eight months, this mild-medium cigar delivers creamy smoking every time.

Biscuits baking in the oven, and a pot of warm honey sitting on the stove, a flurry of kitchen activities begin to take place, with buttered popcorn, and a saltier and chewier finish that features sappy cedar notes and loads of sweet cream. All together, this makes for a modern smoking marvel that dishes out a ton of flavor.

As one of the most popular infused premium cigars on the planet, and the strongest of the sticks in Oliva's "Nub Nuance" line, the Triple Roast is an exercise in cigar blending creativity. While we do not know what goes into Oliva's super-secrete proprietary infusion process, we do know that this cigar uses an authentic Indonesian wrapper to gain Sumatran status, and relies upon an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler mixture.

The result is the perfect middle ground between an infused cigar and a regular Sumatran smoke, with notes of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, espresso, and frothed milk. 

Tasting Notes:

Diesel's collaboration with Rabbit Hole Distillery is a pleasing cigar that has had its tobacco aged in wooden barrels that once held Rabbit Hole bourbon. Pre-light notes might include caramel and black pepper. Once lit, one could find flavors of cinnamon, oak and vanilla.

Handcrafted entirely with 100% Honduran tobaccos grown on the JRE Tobacco Farm and rolled at the Aladino factory in Danlí, the Gori represents strength, confidence, and presence in cigar form.

From the first draw, Gori delivers a full-flavored profile built around rich earth, cedar, black pepper, roasted nuts, and deep natural tobacco sweetness. The thick ring gauge intensifies smoke output and flavor density, creating a bold yet balanced experience that evolves gradually throughout the cigar. As the “Alpha” of the series, Gori is designed for smokers who enjoy robust, expressive cigars with structure, depth, and a strong personality from start to finish.

The ADN Dominicano contains a very special kind of Dominican tobacco. Commonly known as andullo (an-doo-yaw), this process takes tobacco and places it inside palm tree pods, at which point it is bound and then pressed until a paste-like pile of leaves comes out months later. Extremely rare, and ultra labor intensive, this unique cigar making style originated in the Dominican Republic, and is known for adding strength, aroma, and sweetness to a well-balanced cigar blend.

In this case, the result is a spicy, woody cigar that melds pleasantly with hints of sweetness that segue into a graham cracker finish. This smoke is one hell of a great burner too, with a flawless draw producing columns of smoke.

Inspired by Munich’s legendary Oktoberfest, the blend was crafted specifically to complement Märzen-style beer, making it a natural pairing for the season.

Tasting Notes:

Aptly named because this tobacco comes from one lot of tobacco in Nicaragua ("Lot 23"). This cigar uses a Broadleaf Maduro wrapper.

This leaves a rich, almost chocolatey flavor that's smooth and gradual. Expect some creamy, nutty nuances as well.

Rare as can be, and featuring higher primings off the tobacco plant, as well as a fair deal more age, the 10th Anniversary version of Pepper Cream Soda by Caldwell Cigar Co. is one of those obscure stogies that collectors and boutique blend snobs seek out. 

Since the ingredients are the exact same as the regular version of Pepper Cream Soda, one can expect an oily, Ecuador-born arapiraca wrapper, a piloto binder, and then more of the same piloto strain inside, along with some Cuban-seed Havana Vuelta Abajo (HVA) and a pinch of habano.

Additional exposure to sunlight tends to not only make higher primings off a tobacco plant more intense, but more resinous and oily as well, so those looking for a more aromatic, deeper layered version of the normal blend need look no further.

As the name implies, this blend promises a smooth, creamy smoking experience from start to finish. Featuring a Dominican binder and filler combo that has been enclosed inside a rare Arapiraca Claro wrapper out of Peru, this unique blend features distinct scents of espresso foam, creamy vanilla bean, and almond skin, with a mouthfeel that is otherworldly.

Ernesto Carrillo and Rick Rodriguez, two exceptional cigar blenders, worked together to create this unique mix: the West Tampa Circle of Life cigar.

The blend consists of an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, and a filler made of tobacco from the Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí regions of Nicaragua along with some Dominican Corojo 99.

Rodriguez, who was trained by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo during his time at General Cigar Co., has often cited him as one of his key mentors and teachers. This collaboration is a way to connect with his roots and lay another brick for the future of the brand.

Main notes: Vanilla, baking spice, cedar, cashew, and finishing off with some roasted coffee.

The Ave Maria cigar offers a strong and perfect balance. It is made with spicy Nicaraguan long fillers and binders and wrapped in a significantly fermented Ecuadorian sun-grown habano leaf for the finishing touch.

Ave Maria smoothness is filled with tones of toasted almonds, spice, and leather. Also, you can enjoy overtones of earth and chocolate, and a soft toch of pepper in the end. This is definitely a must-try full-bodied and opulent cigar for any serious smoker!

A century ago, the Cuban cigar communities in Ybor City invented a spicy crab croquette that is still famous today, and this potent perfecto cigar gets its name from that dish. Like the dish it mirrors, this cigar is short, stout, and stuffed with all sorts of special ingredients. 

It's highly likely that West Tampa's master blender, "Chef" Rick Rodriguez, has left the origin of the wrapper, binder, and filler of this devilish treat a secret for a reason. For this is the guy who says that judging a cigar by its tobacco strains will never get you anywhere. So dive in, and take this one for what it is. And that is a rich, dark treat for those looking for loads of flavor and a medium-full smoking session.

H. Upmann 1844 Classic is a medium-bodied cigar that uses an Ecuadorian grown, Connecticut-seed wrapper combined with a Honduran broadleaf binder and Honduran grown, Cuban-seed tobacco fillers to produce a taste profile filled with notes of almonds, cocoa, combined with a hint of subtle spice.

Honoring the rich roots of Brazil and the legacy of Nicaragua, AJ Fernandez captures the soul of traditional influences with this distinct and vibrant blend. While adorned with a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, AJ’s signature Nicaraguan binder and filler remains at the heart of this blend. In crafting this cigar, AJ Fernandez not only pays tribute to the glory days of tobacco but also will create new glory days for every connoisseur.

The Kristoff Cameroon Lancero is a refined expression of one of Kristoff’s most beloved blends, showcasing the elegance and complexity of aged African Cameroon tobacco. Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, this 7.5 x 40 Lancero format enhances wrapper influence and concentrates the blend’s natural sweetness and spice. The cigar features a 7-year aged Cameroon wrapper over a Dominican Habano-seed binder with premium Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, delivering a smooth yet flavorful medium-bodied smoking experience.

On the palate, the Cameroon Lancero opens with rich notes of cedar, cinnamon, toasted nuts, and baking spice, followed by layers of leather, cocoa, and a gentle natural sweetness that builds throughout the smoke.

At 6" × 48, the Skywalker offers a long, enjoyable smoking experience with excellent construction and a balanced progression of flavors. It is an ideal choice for smokers who appreciate fuller-bodied cigars with pronounced dark tobacco character, layered sweetness, and a lingering spicy finish.
