(Miami, Florida) – October 7, 2025 – Plasencia Cigars, world-renowned premium tobacco grower and maker of award-winning blends since 1865, proudly announces the release of two new sizes, uniting heritage with modern lifestyle: the Plasencia Reserva Original Corona Corta (3 7/8 x 48) and the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Claro Robusto Corto (4 x 52). Affectionately nicknamed the “Short Smokes,” these vitolas embody Plasencia’s craftsmanship in elegant, time-conscious expressions. Shipping will commence in October 2025.
The Plasencia Reserva Original is the world’s first and only cigar made entirely of 100% certified organic tobacco, cultivated without pesticides or artificial fertilizers, and certified by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA). Born from Nicaraguan puros grown on the Plasencia family’s estates in Estelí and Jalapa, this line carries a purity and authenticity unmatched in the world of premium cigars.
Celebrated with a 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado and ranked among its Top 25 Cigars of 2022, the blend delivers a naturally sweet, mild-to-medium experience with notes of cedar, caramel, toasted nuts, and subtle spice. The new Corona Corta vitola preserves this acclaimed profile in a refined shorter format—perfect for moments of pause that demand uncompromising quality.
The Alma Fuerte Colorado Claro stands as a testament to refinement within Plasencia’s flagship Alma Fuerte line. Featuring an aged Colorado Claro wrapper from Jalapa, this Nicaraguan puro balances creamy sweetness, nuanced baking spice, and a touch of white pepper with layers of rich earth and subtle fruit.
The new Robusto Corto (4 x 52) captures this celebrated complexity in a compact, box-worthy format—ideal for aficionados seeking the full Alma Fuerte experience in a more accessible smoke. With impeccable construction and a luxurious mouthfeel, it embodies the essence of Fuerte strength with the grace of Colorado Claro finesse.
Crafted to meet the rhythm of today’s aficionado, the Short Smokes offer uncompromising luxury in shorter formats. Perfect for a morning coffee ritual, an afternoon break, or those evenings when time is limited but the desire for excellence remains, the Short Smokes deliver an indulgent experience without compromise.
Each vitola is presented in 20-count collector’s boxes, designed to reflect the elegance and heritage of the Plasencia family legacy.
