Translated to "strong soul," this cigar is full-bodied, and made with aged tobacco taken from Plasencia's vast library of vintage leaf. While the primary component is Criollo '98, Alma Fuerte is a blend of tobacco from four growing regions: Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Ometepe. All the tobaccos come together quite cohesively in the Generacion V, a box-pressed Salomon-style cigar full of tapers and curves.

As you might expect, Generacion V requires some time. Cigars of this shape normally take a while to warm up and begin steady combustion. But once it does, it rewards the smoker with layer upon rich layer of cocoa powder, leather, and toast.
