The Plasencia Year of the Snake cigar, officially named El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025, is a striking tribute to the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year. As part of Plasencia’s tradition of honoring the zodiac calendar, this limited-edition release takes inspiration from the serpent’s elegance and mystique. The presentation is a unique twist on the classic culebra format, featuring a 10-count box that includes eight traditionally shaped cigars alongside a two-piece culebra. Each cigar in the collection measures 7" x 40, crafted exclusively with Nicaraguan tobaccos grown by the Plasencia family and produced at their factory in Estelí.
This meticulously blended cigar delivers a refined and complex smoking experience. The slender format allows the tobacco’s depth to shine, with a profile that balances rich flavors and smooth progression. Expect notes of cedar, dark cocoa, and a touch of pepper, complemented by subtle sweetness and a lingering earthiness. The culebra format (one included per box) offers an additional layer of novelty, enhancing both the aesthetic and the smoking experience.
