Eight long, thin cigars and a culebra. It’s a veritable viper den of smokes and that’s how Plasencia Cigars is acknowledging Year of the Snake for the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year, word culebra translates to “snake” in Spanish.

In cigar terms, a culebra typically is made from three thin cigars intertwined like serpents tied together by string or ribbon. Plasencia’s El Año de la Culebra Edición Limitada 2025 is a somewhat non-traditional take on the culebra, a 10-count box that contains eight traditionally shaped smokes and a culebra of two twisted together in a special interior compartment. Red high gloss box inspired by a traditional Chinese pagoda and all metal features specially developed for it.
