Collection: Plasencia 1865

Owned by father-and-son team Nestor Plasencia Sr. and Jr., the Plasencia tobacco operation is quite vast. In addition to large cigar factories in both Nicaragua and Honduras, the family (whose combined factories produce more than 35 million cigars a year) grows approximately 3,000 acres of tobacco in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama.

But despite the massive tobacco growing and brokerage operation, and the large amount of cigars that the Plasencias produce under contract for other companies (like Rocky Patel, for example), they have never been known for their own brands. Now, the Plasencias are looking to change that.
