The Plasencia family has a long history in the cigar industry, dating back to the mid-19th century. The family’s involvement in the cigar business began in 1865 when their ancestor, Don Eduardo Plasencia, started growing tobacco in Cuba. Over the years, the family built a reputation for producing high-quality tobacco, and in the early 20th century they established a tobacco factory in Cuba to produce cigars using their tobacco.
In the 1960s, the Plasencia family faced challenges due to the Cuban revolution and the US trade embargo on Cuba. In response, they moved their operations to Nicaragua, where they continued to produce cigars using the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship. In the following decades, the family expanded their operations, opening additional factories and increasing their production of cigars.
Today, the Plasencia family is one of the largest tobacco growers and cigar producers in the world, and their cigars are widely regarded as some of the finest on the market. The company continues to be family-owned and operated, and is committed to producing cigars of the highest quality using traditional techniques and the finest tobacco leaves.
