Privada Storytelling
The Amanecer, meaning “sunrise,” is more than just a name—it’s an experience. Plasencia has long been the quiet powerhouse of the cigar world, supplying the world’s top brands with the leaf that makes legends. But in the Alma del Cielo line, they stepped into the spotlight with their own artistry.
The Hecágono Amanecer is a rare format: a hexagon-shaped box press that sits perfectly in the hand, reflecting precision craftsmanship and a daring aesthetic. The cigar is a tribute to beginnings—the break of dawn, the start of a journey, the spark of inspiration. For those who have seen the sun rise over Estelí’s lush fields, this cigar encapsulates that same sense of possibility and grandeur.
Flavor Journey
At first light, espresso and charred oak dominate, commanding attention. As the burn progresses, waves of dark cocoa join the profile, weaving with black pepper that tingles on the retrohale. Midway through, the cigar blossoms into a sweeter side: cinnamon spice, molasses, and a touch of cream. The final third is bold yet refined, a crescendo of oak, espresso, and lingering dark chocolate. The hecágono press ensures a cooler burn, allowing every nuance to fully develop.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada members know that shape matters. The Hecágono is a statement of rarity and design, a cigar built for collectors who demand both performance and presentation. Alma del Cielo Amanecer is Plasencia showing what’s possible when tradition meets innovation. It’s not just another 6x60—it’s an architectural achievement in tobacco form, a cigar that rewards patience and commands attention in any humidor.
