El Ano del Caballo is Plasencia's limited edition for the 2026 Lunar New Year and the fifth in the family's Chinese Zodiac series. The horse theme runs from the decorated ten count box to the cigar itself, which is finished with a long braided tobacco tail at the cap in the shape of a plaited mane. The braid demands a third roller working on nothing else and doubles production time.
