Casa Turrent 1880 Oscuro Double Robusto

Description

The first family of Mexican tobacco has added four new blends to its namesake Casa Turrent 1880 Series: The Claro, Colorado, Oscuro and Maduro. While the Casa Turrent 1880 Series is made in only one size—6 1/2 inches by 55 ring gauge—it’s offered singly or in 10-count boxes. Although not limited-edition cigars, they are limited production with only one pair of rollers assigned to each blend. According to brand owner Alejandro Turrent, the factory will only produce 5,000 of each variety per month. Darker and stronger than the Colorado, the Oscuro consists entirely of Mexican Habano Criollo San Andrés tobacco.

Naturally, all the Mexican tobaccos in this blend were grown by the Turrent family. The wrappers were aged five years and the binder and filler tobaccos were aged between 10 and 12 years. The packaging commemorates the family’s heritage in tobacco with Art Nouveau-inspired motifs and a collection of historical family photographs adorning the inner lid of the cigar box. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.
