Matasa runs by Fonseca and Plasencia runs by Nestor Plasencia whos factory makes Casa Magna. During this tour I went both in Padron and Plasencia facotry and discovered that the operation in Placensia is alteast three times bigger than Padron. However, I could easily tell that Padron's quality control is superior compares to Plasecia. This factory makes Casa Magna, 5 Vegas, HC many brands. I believe you can also make your own cigar here under your own brand. Padron is exclusive.
I also learned that Rocky Patel actually doesn't own any factory they leased one of Plasencia's factory in Nicaragua. I will post more pictures.
I am in Managua. We have a cigarZone here as well as one in Estali. Flor De Cana is good but Guatemalan Ron Zacapa is even better. Let me know when you are here. My man cave has everything and I can proudly say that my cigar collection is the the largest and finest private collection in Nicaragua-:)
