Plasencia Cigars and Corona Cigar Company are expanding their product partnership with a new Alma Fuerte Torpedo Semi-Boxpress made exclusively for the Florida retailer.
The 6 x 54 release joins Corona’s existing exclusive Alma del Cielo Robusto Gordo, a 5 1/2 x 54 distinguished from the regular collection by its Colorado Claro wrapper. The Alma del Cielo is also moving into Plasencia’s redesigned blue-and-gold packaging.

Plasencia CEO Ed Bello said the partnership gives the companies room to explore new expressions of the family’s tobacco portfolio while offering customers products not available through other retailers.
