Description
The Turrent family has been creating some of the world’s greatest tobacco for five generations – it’s almost certain that you’ve smoked it in your favourite cigars. Montecristo, Rocky Patel, CAO, Padilla, La Aroma de Cuba, Macanudo, Alec Bradley, La Flor Dominicana, Camacho and many others have recently used the highly sought after Turrent-farmed San Andres tobacco as central components in their top-tier cigars. The Turrent family not only grows the tobacco from the seed up, they also carefully select the best of the crop to create their own cigars. Alejandro Turrent has brought this craft to a new level over the past decade and his achievements have caught the attention of cigar lovers the world over.
The 1973 is named for the birth year of Alejandro Turrent. It is a cigar that departs from what one might expect given the predominance of San Andres tobacco in the blend. The secret is the double helping of Criollo which starts the smoke off with strong notes of pepper and spice, settling down over time to perfectly complement the overall oak and leather flavour profile. Size: Robusto 5.25 x 50 Box Pressed. Note: these are now shipping in plain packaging.
