Nestor Andrés Plasencia

Nestor Andrés Plasencia is the public blender face of the Plasencia consumer brand. He is the son of Nestor Plasencia Sr. and, with brothers Gustavo and José Luis, launched Plasencia 1865 in the mid-2010s: Alma Fuerte, Alma del Campo, Alma del Fuego, Reserva Original, and harvest-dated Cosecha cigars such as Cosecha 146.

Alma Fuerte and related Nicaraguan puros are tied to The Cathedral in Estelí. Cosecha blends typically mix Honduras and Nicaragua at El Paraíso. He did not invent the farms. He put a house marca on five generations of leaf. Contract work for other brands continues alongside the Alma catalog. He is family leadership, not an STG employee.
