Plasencia Cigars, known for its legacy of premium tobacco cultivation dating back to 1865, has announced a new presentation for one of its most celebrated offerings. The Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon—the flagship format of the Alma Fuerte line—will now be available in a sleek, hexagon-shaped tubo, combining refined design with elevated functionality.
The new Sixto I Hexagon Tubo will debut at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA25) trade show in New Orleans, April 11–14, 2025.
“The Alma Fuerte Sixto I has been a defining success for our portfolio,” said Jim Young, CEO of Plasencia 1865 USA. “This new tubo format not only enhances portability and protection, but adds an elegant touch, making it ideal for both personal enjoyment and gift-giving occasions.”
Initially released in 2021, the Sixto I Hexagon quickly rose to prominence as a standout vitola—both for its striking geometry and its sophisticated flavor profile. The six-sided shape draws inspiration from natural engineering, modeled after the structural precision of a honeycomb. This hexagonal form optimizes combustion and airflow while enhancing the tactile experience, setting it apart from traditional round cigars.
A true Nicaraguan puro, the Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon is wrapped in a carefully aged Colorado Claro leaf chosen for its elegance and depth. The result is a full-bodied cigar that delivers an exceptionally smooth and complex journey. As the cigar develops, it reveals rich notes of cocoa and roasted almonds, accented by nuances of nutmeg and cedar.
The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon Tubo (6 x 60) has a suggested retail price of $26.25 per cigar and will be offered in 10-count boxes (MSRP $262.50) and a refined 3-count pack (MSRP $78.75), making it an attractive option for humidors of all sizes. The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto I Hexagon Tubo is scheduled to begin shipping in early June.
Retailers can visit Plasencia Cigars’ booth at PCA25 to experience this new presentation and explore the company’s growing collection of ultra-premium offerings—each handcrafted with precision, passion, and generations of expertise.
