Plasencia Celebrates the Year of the Snake with 2025 Limited Edition “El Año de la Culebra” Cigars
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the cigar world is buzzing with excitement over a unique release that pays homage to the Year of the Snake. Plasencia, renowned for its premium cigar craftsmanship, leads the way with the announcement of the El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025, a stunning tribute to the Chinese zodiac's upcoming Year of the Snake.
A Unique Tribute to the Culebra
In Spanish, "culebra" translates to "snake," making it a fitting theme for this special release. Traditionally, a culebra in the cigar world is a twisted creation made by intertwining three long, thin cigars. Plasencia's 2025 edition puts a modern twist on this classic concept by including two intertwined cigars, a departure from the conventional three-cigar culebra format.
Each box of the El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025 contains a total of 10 cigars:
Eight straight 7x40 Lanceros, offering a sleek, elegant smoke.
Two intertwined culebra cigars, designed to be smoked individually.
This innovative presentation is a testament to Plasencia's artistry and ability to push boundaries while honoring tradition.
A Premium Blend for Discerning Palates
Crafted entirely with Nicaraguan tobacco, these cigars showcase the expertise and precision of Plasencia's master rollers. Known for their dedication to quality, the Plasencia family grows their tobacco in Nicaragua and handcrafts their cigars in their factory in Estelí. The 7x40 format delivers a refined smoking experience, with flavors expected to embody the rich complexity that Plasencia cigars are celebrated for.
Pricing and Availability
MSRP: $490 per box of 10 cigars or $49 per cigar.
Production: Limited to 6,000 boxes worldwide, with 3,000 boxes allocated for the U.S. market.
For those seeking a true collector’s item or a memorable gift for a cigar aficionado, this exclusive release offers both prestige and a nod to cultural tradition.
A Continued Tradition of Excellence
This marks the fifth consecutive year that Plasencia has crafted a cigar honoring the Chinese zodiac calendar. Speaking about the release, Nestor Andrés Plasencia, the company’s fifth-generation owner, stated:
“El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025 is a tribute to the Chinese Lunar Year. Featuring elegant Lanceros and the unique Culebra, each cigar reflects the artistry and precision of our master rollers.”
Plasencia’s commitment to excellence and innovation continues to shine, making this release a must-have for cigar enthusiasts.
A Luxurious Celebration of the Year of the Snake
The Year of the Snake represents transformation, intelligence, and elegance—qualities that resonate with Plasencia’s approach to cigar-making. From the intricately designed culebras to the choice of premium Nicaraguan tobacco, every detail of this release exudes sophistication and craftsmanship.
As these limited-edition cigars start shipping later this month, cigar lovers have the opportunity to elevate their collections with a tribute to both heritage and artistry. Whether enjoyed during a special occasion or displayed as part of a collection, the Plasencia El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025 promises to be a standout release in the world of premium cigars.
