Casa Turrent 1880 Maduro Lancero

HISTORY

Alberto and Alejandro Turrent, owners of Nueva Matacapan de Tabacos S.A de C.V., are the first family of Mexico’s cigar industry, dating back to 1880. The father-son team not only make some of Mexico’s best cigars but is also the largest grower of cigar tobacco in the country.

The San Andres Maduro leaf they grow outside of Veracruz is world-renowned for its quality, and a variety of their tobaccos are important components in many of America’s most popular premium cigar brands.

To keep the consistency of their flagship Casa Turrent line, Alejandro decided a large factory was not the best place to make the more complex Casa series. Instead, Alejandro took his great-grandfather’s house and renovated it to make a boutique factory with just 15 people to produce the Casa Turrent Series.

1880 MADURO

Over the years, in the galleys of Casa Turrent they reserved a selection of the best tobacco leaves that could be part of pieces of a supreme flavour. The 1880 Series has been aged for over a decade; its tobacco comes from a singular harvest and fermentation. The 1880 Maduro has a complex body and burns evenly as the smoke progresses; undoubtedly, it is a cigar for connoisseurs.

This full-bodied cigar has a gradual tone of cinnamon, cloves and pepper, followed by notes of leather, damp earth, honey and roasted coffee.
