The Casa Turrent 1880 brand was introduced in late 2017. 1880 is an important date in the Turrent family history. It’s the year when the Turrents started to grow tobacco in Mexico. And now, 140 years later, they are the largest tobacco grower in the North America. Their Mexican San Andres tobacco is one of the world’s most desired tobacco. And by releasing the Casa Turrent 1880, Alejandro Turrent wanted to share that history with the world.The Casa Turrent 1880 is a beefy, nearly rock solid cigar that feels like it’s either been stuffed with tobacco or is using some rather heavy leaves judging by its weight. The wrapper is a gorgeous dark chocolate brown, rich with tooth and minimal with veins, while the seams are nearly invisible.
The Casa Turrent 1880 started out with notes of sweet mocha, cedar, earth, and some mixed pepper. The mixed pepper had elements of black and red pepper with the black pepper having the edge. During the early stages, mocha notes became the primary note. At the same time, the chocolate component of the mocha was more prominent. The pepper and earth notes settled in the background. The cedar notes also settled in the background, but occasionally surfaced in the forefront. On the retro-hale, there was both the black pepper and a slight amount of sweet chocolate present.
As the Casa Turrent 1880 started to move into the second third, the mocha notes transitioned from being more chocolate-centric to more coffee-centric. By the midway point, that transition had completed. Concurrently, I found an increase in the intensity of both the pepper and cedar notes. The cedar note was still making its way to the forefront. I also still detected some earth notes in the background.
By the last third, the cedar notes eclipsed the mocha notes as the primary flavor. The mocha receded into the background, joining the mixed pepper and earth. While the coffee component was still prominent, there still was a chocolate sweetness being delivered as well. This is the way the flavor profile of the Casa Turrent 1880 came to a close. The resulting nub was soft to the touch, but cool in temperature.
Another great cigar from Alejandro that we think you will really enjoy, As this cigar has a very limited release in Canada this might be one of your only chances to smoke it and pick up a few more for your humidor.
