The Hands Of Plasencia | How Cigars Are Made - Plasencia Cigar Brand (DOCUMENTARY)

Published 2024-01-16
From seed to cigar, every Plasencia cigar takes up to fifteen years to create and goes through a 537 step process - all of which is done 100% by hand.

The Hands of Plasencia is an intimate look into the people behind the brand and their process of creating an ultra premium cigar. Dave Hill of Hug Club Cigars visits the farm and factory to see how it’s all done. From organic composting, harvesting, aging, sorting, fermenting, rolling, and packaging, this a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look into how cigars are made.

Located in Estelí, Nicaragua, Plasencia Cigar Brand is the only cigar label to offer an organic cigar.

“You can have the best tobacco, the best land, the best climate, but If you don’t have the right human talent, you won’t have a good quality product.”

    What an incredible fascinating video! Thank you very much! I don’t really smoke a lot of Placencia, but this video definitely makes me go out and try another one. Great job!❤
  • I got into cigars during covid. Started off with the flavored garbage. Now I have a list of absolutely incredible cigars I love. They are the best investment I've ever made into myself. Its my yoga, a part of my weekly routine. A ritual of mine. I will smoke cigars until my last dying breath.

    Awesome video ! No wonder why Placencia cigars are so good , the Alma Fuerte is without question one of the best cigars I've ever smoked. You can see the pride everyone has in their work at every stage.

    You guys killed this! Excellent video in a shorter format that gets to the important stuff of the world of cigars with legends in the industry. I would love to also see a more extended version.

    Plasencia wasn't on my radar before I came across this video but have already located a shop near me that sells them. Can't wait to try one!
