Plasencia Cigars celebrated the 75th birthday of Don Néstor Plasencia on Oct. 8, 2024. For six decades, Don Néstor Plasencia has become a monumental figure in the premium tobacco industry following years of great success. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Don Néstor Plasencia has created 750 boxes of his personal blend to be gifted to those who have supported him through his career. These 10-count boxes will not be for sale but will be given out as a token of appreciation and gratitude by Plasencia.
As a young boy, Don Néstor Plasencia began working alongside his father in the tobacco fields of Cuba. This is where his passion for premium tobacco and the premium cigar craft was ignited. Today, Plasencia maintains one of the world’s largest libraries of premium tobacco and is recognized as one of the most respected family names in the premium cigar industry.
“75 years is a milestone birthday, and it inspires us to look back and appreciate all that he has accomplished. His accomplishments in the tobacco industry speak for itself. My father looks forward to recognizing those close to us with these special personal blends,” commented Nestor Andres Plasencia in a press release.
Don Néstor Plasencia states that Plasencia’s success is a shared one, including the farmers that have nurtured each tobacco leaf, the artisans that roll every cigar by hand, and the distributors and retailers around the world that make its products available to cigar enthusiasts.
While the exact details of Don Néstor Plasencia’s personal blend are kept secret, Plasencia Cigars did share that this rare cigar will be presented in a 7 x 50 Churchill size.
