A bit later than planned, the newest size of Plasencia’s Alma Fuerte Colorado Claro is heading to stores.

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Colorado Claro Robustus II is a 5 1/8 x 55 version of the Colorado Claro blend. Unlike the first two sizes, both of which are pressed, this is a round parejo cigar. However, like those other cigars, it is made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco, capped off by a 10-year-old wrapper from Jalapa. The Colorado Claro line itself is an extension to the Alma Fuerte line.

Each Robustus II has an MSRP of $21.50 and it comes in boxes of 10 cigars. The Robustus II is a regular production size for the line.

Plasencia originally indicated that this cigar would ship in August. Like many other products announced over the summer, it is arriving at stores later than originally planned.
